Jason Goldstein
I am Physicts, Computer Scientist and Electrical Engineer without over 40 years of experince in computing. I have designed many dozens of circuit boards using nearly every CAD tool in the marketplace. I have designed telecommunications supercomputers, innovative touch sensors (including the machine vision system for the original Microsoft Surface), 3D TV's that don't require glasses, displays for virtual and augmented reality headsets, and a device that let's you drive a wheelchair with your eyes. These days I design custom hardware and software to manufacturure and control carbon nanotube based x-ray emitters. NCX's emitters are the first major enhancement to x-ray tubes in many decades.
Sessions
NCX has ripped off the bandage and moved from Altium to KiCAD. In this talk, I will discuss our decision and explain some tools we built to make it easier to deal with libraries from multiple sources. In addition, I demonstrate how we worked around quirks in the new JobSet feature to get consistent output files for manufacturing.
