Circuit Board PDFs

Heya,

In an attempt to make the board printing process easier for users,
I've added pdf conversions of the relevant postscript files to
subversion.

Dont worry though, because I also added a script called convert2pdf in
the main electronics directory that calls ps2pdf on each of the ps
files. ps2pdf is a common utility included on the vast majority of
linux distros.

Just to be clear, and to avoid PCB designs in the library from getting
stale, the process should be:

1. Make changes in Kicad
2. Plot to postscript from Kicad
3. at a command terminal from the electronics directory run: ./convert2pdf
4. commit changes to subversion.

/this should make it easy to have both pdf and ps for us and our users.

That's better than that web page. But is it worth adding links to that
everywhere for Windows and Mac users?

Also - remember that discussion you and I had about mirror imaging, and
whether the single-sided comms board was the right way round? In the
end I said you were right.

Now I've etched the board, I discover I was wrong when I said you were
right :-)

I've fixed it in the repository.

Yours
