AVR-Chat

Do you want schematics, pc board artwork, mechanical drawings, with CAM 
files, an operator's manual, service instructions, and code?  If so, 
we'll need:

1.  Schematic capture file format requirement.
       a. Do you also need spice models?
2.  Same for pc board artwork.
3.  Do you want mechanical drawings in native AutoCAD format or some other?
4.  CAM file format, G-code files too?
5.  What language do you want code written in?
       C?  Assembler?  Basic?  PASCAL? FORTRAN? COBOL?  Wire wrap?

We need to know these things before we can help Philippe.

Do you also need instructions for handling the cat?

You know, we're going to keep this up and people are going to start 
thinking we're a bunch of smartalecs.
