    Up and down intermittently (mostly down) just browsing repos for me. I get the unicorn "No Server Available" page. Git status says everything is fine and downdetector says otherwis…

    Can you not use the "free for hobbyists" license? Autodesk make it unreasonably hard to renew it, instead dark-patterning you into upgrading to the paid tier. (Unless of course you…

    getting the hardware is only half the battle. Hard agree with going for a MiSTer setup however it's quite an expense for someone dipping a toe in. ultimately it's hard to prescribe…

    My workaround for multiple PCB's for one schematic is to have the schematic as a top level sheet which can then be imported into sub-level projects. so each PCB becomes it's own pr…

    Unfortunately I'm not only not in the BOS area, I'm not even in the US anymore. Though the RSGB probably has a similar listing... If I get my license I might even find out directly…
