Also thanks for taking a look. </p> http://forums.leaflabs.com/topic.php?id=647#post-3620 Fri, 11 Feb 2011 20:49:42 +0000 jessb 3620@http://forums.leaflabs.com/ <p>Hey Josh, I tried to take a quick look at it but had trouble opening the schematics. I saw on the KiCad users list that you had a reply from a Jim Hughen and it seemed he had no problem opening the project; not sure what was going on but best guess is the path to your libs had a space in it, and it made Linux freak out. However, even when I manually added all your custom libs, I was still missing components and the schematic hierarchy seemed all borked. Maybe you could package all your custom components into one .lib file so it's easier for another user to manually add?</p> <p>All the points Jim made in his email were good ones. The one worrying thing I notice right off the bat is the top header (P17 or P18 maybe? it is hard to tell). This looks like it won't fit into an unmodded Maple, because the headers there aren't on 0.1" spacing. If you're intending to use the unpopulated header spaces on Maple, be advised that there's still a space between pins 7 and 8 (pins 8 and 9 on your board) which isn't reflected in this design, so one of the pins will be left dangling.</p> <p>Sorry it's not a more in-depth review, but hopefully you've got at least a jumping off point for your revisions. Keep us updated. </p> http://forums.leaflabs.com/topic.php?id=647#post-3619 Fri, 11 Feb 2011 20:08:57 +0000 mbolivar 3619@http://forums.leaflabs.com/ <p>It would be more convenient if you provided a direct link:</p> <p><a href="https://sites.google.com/site/openloopproject/Home/code-valt/NCP_Base_8.zip?attredirects=0&amp;d=1" rel="nofollow">https://sites.google.com/site/openloopproject/Home/code-valt/NCP_Base_8.zip?attredirects=0&amp;d=1</a> </p> http://forums.leaflabs.com/topic.php?id=647#post-3603 Fri, 11 Feb 2011 10:00:47 +0000 josheeg 3603@http://forums.leaflabs.com/ <p>I am sending for prototipe boards of my kicad design can some people look?</p> <p>It is ncp_base_8.zip</p> <p>It is kicad and the libraries are in the library or schematic library folder their is a parts list and footprints in mod or footprints.</p> <p>Its purpose is in peer reviewed articles on EMG decoding useing Linear Discriminant analisis they clasified EMG signals to detect indivigual hand or finger movements in real time.</p> <p>So check out my kicad open source project and please tell me of any problems you find.</p> <p>I tried to simplify it and did not use the onboard GPIO.<br /> The processor I am using with it is the leaflabs maple ARM processor that can be programmed like the arduino.</p> <p>The DLP FT2232H is a high speed USB chip to allow for future additions of more ads1298 EMG EEG system chips &amp; their is a capacitive electrode design that is not quite finished.<br /> The software uses LDA linear discriminant analisis so if anyone wants to help with that great.</p> <p><a href="https://sites.google.com/site/openloopproject/" rel="nofollow">https://sites.google.com/site/openloopproject/</a><br /> <a href="https://sites.google.com/site/neurocyberprosthetics/" rel="nofollow">https://sites.google.com/site/neurocyberprosthetics/</a> </p>
