Ah, yes mycroft and slurp, I see what you mean. A paper based printout of the breadboard layout that you then stick on a real breadboard and then just copy the wires. Nifty.
Have we decided on a location for this yet? Somewhere easy to find ?? the completed projects section. Maybe a link to it from the next version of the manual? I'm thinking there needs to be the source code, but also maybe a folder for completed projects. Somewhere where anyone can upload a completed project (the text file and also ? the jpg screen capture). So people could either grab a screenshot of a circuit. But also get the text for one that is almost what they want and then they can edit it a bit for themselves. I'm thinking of generic circuits with battery, download resistors, picaxe. Maybe even switch, led, ldr, as it might be easier to remove components than to add them?
Once it is bedded down a bit more, Rev Ed are happy to host on their website.
Yes a separate section for PEBBLE projects to be placed would be good.
Albeit a little rough, the mechanism to save a project is to use the SAVE/LOAD/ button at the bottom of the menu and cut or paste a file into the pop-up window. These can be pasted into and saved as text (notepad) files for storing in the relevant completed projects section.
I tried the printwindow() command to print as a form of screen capture but found it did not capture/print all on thescreen. Just text, wire abre end images and the breadboard border. Using the printscreen key and pasting into a paint package is what I have been doing to date.
