This is fixed now. Just go to https://roboton.io scroll down I click 'Try Now' next to the pendulum challenge.

Yes, I'll fix that
Working on it!
We have that! Just push the "generate enclosure" button in the circuit details page.
Hi Michael
We just hope you will order your boards through circuits.io :), but we will not tie you in. You can download your gerbers and have your board produced elsewhere.

Thanks man! Our dream is that you guy's can fully focus on the creative part of your project. We want to do the boring part: component sourcing, getting the PCBs manufactured, getting it all assembled, testing,...
We would love to help you with this! I'll send you an email.
We are working hard on a better footprint editor right now. It will probably be released in one or two weeks. If you have trouble adding a footprint you can always send us an email and we'll add it for you.
Congrats to upverter with their new release, together we can kick some kicad and eagle butt :) Make sure to also try out circuits.io
Thanks for the heads-up!
Sorry about that. It should be fixed now.
Hey,
It could work in firefox. Its just that we only test it in Chrome, because we have limited resources.
We love Codeacademy and have been thinking about building such a thing on circuits.io instead of tutorials. It's a lot more fun! We will have it one of these days.
We refer the orders from circuits.io to oshpark. That's why our boards are purple ;) I thing they produce the boards in the US.
Oops! I'll fix that ASAP. I've been coding late nights :)
Thanks for the Gyro module!
Indeed one item down and thousands to go ;) Next up is DRC!
Thanx!
Sorry that was a bug. It's fixed now.
Hey
That sounds like the assisted routing we are working on. Now we are focusing on getting the parts search a lot better. It will be amazing and should be online in a few days.
To change the layer you have to push 'l'((l)ayer) not '|'. Sorry about that it must be the font we use. Thats a good idea to have a custom keymapping! We will look in to that.
We are also working hard at version control, visualization between commits and more social features,...
Thanks for the feedback!
Can you read our minds? :)
I'm now working hard at integrating with octopart and pulling up the datasheet for a part is already in there, but there is a lot more ...
Next thing on the list is DRC. We already have the algorithms in place, so its basically down to doing the visualization. You can expect that soon!
You can easily download your gerber files. Just click "make" and then "download".
We have plans to build the largest shared component library in the world. Soon!
We are also currently working on hooking up to a fab and panelizing is certainly part of that. We want you to order a board with one click and receive it in the mail just a few days later. And all that at a good price!
Thanks!
Thats fixed now. Thanks for the notice!
I totally agree! Floods are certainly on top of the list. You can expect them one of these days!
Cool idea! Thats something we will look at in the future.
We use jQuery SVG for building the SVG and the lots of javascript to manipulate it.
Word up! ;)
Thanks for the help!:) I totally agree that we need tutorials and videos. Sorry about that!
Definitely contact us if you have any trouble.
Thanx!
Not at this point, but the app is free to use for everybody. :) We plan to create some interactive and "game like" tutorials in the future, which should make it fun and easy to learn to design PCBs.
We are currently working hard at integrating with the octopart api. We aim at building a huge crowd sourced component lib, so you will never have to enter components again.
Grid and measurements are definitely on top of the list.
Autorouter is a bit lower, but want that. We will probably first do some form of assisted routing.
At this point you can download your gerber files and send them to a manufacturer of your choice, but we are working on integrating with services like BatchPCB.
At this point there is indeed only one ground label, but if you use the generic label you can create as many as you like. Nets in the schematic that are connected to labels with the same name are merged when switching to PCB.
