Hi Westaust,
Is it possible to have mirror images of the Futurlec stripboards.
To do track cutting, I go into the word file and delete everything except the track cuts, It would be nice to then replace the board with a mirrored version, for track cutting purposes.
Regards,
pilko
Hi Pilko,
Sorry did not get back to you instantly - no need to "ping" though as I do frequently look back over a couple of days worth of posts to see if there is something I have missed.
wrt your question, are you looking to:
1. only be able to effectively flip the breadboard image so as to see the reverse side
2. as per 1. above, but also reposition the track cuts to provide a map of exactly where to cut
While 1. only requires a new BB image, item 2 requires some maths within the program that will take some thinking about. Item also is also of no value for use will all but strip boards thus need to think about how to impliment the action.
Doubt that I would get to either of these options for the next release - in a matter of days.
I have been spending considerable time in recent looking at the idea put forward by
boriz to scroll the breadboard.
Had started onto this using html frames but while most of the functionality is very easy to achieve, after considerable research it seems that drag and drop between frames is likely not achievable. :-(((
Many have tried but failures abound.
Having given the frames concept away for now (which would have been good if it had worked), I am playing with the idea of using my own sliders to separately scroll the meu area and the breadbaord area.
menu area is set up and scrolling
but still to get the drag and drop feature working with the menu now located within a html "div"
If nothing else, the sliding menu may also provide more space to place new components, selection options, etc, in future.
Scott Carson who raised the idea of having a top side off-board component area has had a test/play with the forthcoming version and generally given it the thumbs up. He also suggested a similar thing (in terms of needing some more inbuilt maths) to allow components to follow the breadboard when a top side area is added/removed.
Shifting components down when a top side area is added may not be a big problem but what does one do with top side components when the top side area is removed?
could just delete them.
Again a solution may not make the next revision, but ideas are progressing, even if only in my head.
