Meeting Minutes

  • Craig Hughes of GumStix passed out some of the LCDs that were ordered via eBay.
  • Craig also showed off his Eagle to Sketchup hack. You can use it to generate a 3D rendering of a board from an Eagle CAD diagram. The hack is an Eagle CAD script that outputs a Ruby script that can be imported into Google Sketchup. At the end of the process, you wind up with a 3D model of the part you're designing in Eagle. Craig says a reference to it will be posted to the list soon. w00t!
  • Matt shows off the Jowles interface and talks about what he had to do to get his older way-small GumStix working with the Macintosh
  • Discussed the policies of major carriers with respect to sim unlocking.
