Re: It¡¯s been twenty years¡­ #pcbgcode


 

Funny this came up now. I just last week searched out pcbgcode after about a five year hiatus with the need to make some quick prototypes. Of course the quick part evaporated rather quickly since after five years I have to relearn everything! Oh well.

For a large part of those years, Art aka Country has been your fearless moderator and helped many people through issues with the software. Thanks Art!

There have been three messages this year on the group here.

I am fortunate to have a full time job now, and it¡¯s been at least 15 years since I made a pcb.

So where do we go from here?

The group still has 3,000 members. I wonder how many still use pcb-gcode?

Have you all moved on to something else? Maybe KiCad?

I understand Autodesk is going to pull the plug on Eagle sometime in the near future.

The group doesn¡¯t cost anything, so no problem leaving it up.
Would different group software (e.g. Discourse) help anyone, or be worth paying for hosting?

Appreciate any thoughts you all have!

JJ
