it opens v1 files but only reads those components that are available at the moment.

So i just downloaded it and when i tried to open it I got a message that said there was an error and the file couldn't be open. I read the note on the site about having to do something with the MAC terminal but...to quote Mccoy in some sense, im a diy pedal maker, not a computer exert How do fix the mac problem?

open the terminal, type cd <path to diylc directory>
then type ./run.sh

cheers

im doing that and i keep getting "no such file or directory exsist"

did you extract all the files from the zip? You should have diylc.jar, lib directory with a couple of files and library with one more.
Also, do you have java 1.6 installed? It definitely works on mac, few people have confirmed.
cheers

3.0.5 is out, knock your self out

Cool! I like the template idea

It would be nice if the component defaults could change between stompbox-sized and amp-sized depending on eyelet/perfboard, etc

Keep up the good work!

bancika · January 30, 2011, 02:19:24 PM

templates will be much more useful once I'm happy with the component set. I'll include a couple that can really save time in some situations and users will hopefully add theirs.
As for different defaults, you can do it now with two config.xml files (auto-created by the app). One with amp-sized defaults, other with stompbox or whatever. You'd just put the one you want to use, start the app and it reads defaults from there. Hope it makes sense.

ahhh thank you, that fixed it!
Edit: i just downloaded 3.0.5, and it's sweet! i love how the resistor color codes change

GodSaveMetal · January 31, 2011, 12:19:35 AM

Yeah the new version 3.0.5 it alright but Wat happens with the recognition of the led with version 1?? it's not compatible???

GodSaveMetal · February 15, 2011, 10:54:25 PM

Once again, Bancika, you've done a fantastic job. Love the new look and functionality. Kudos! I envy your computer-fu.

Quick question: the new version should open v2 files, correct? I tried opening a couple and, while the viewing area shifted slightly as though a file was opening, nothing was displayed. Is there somethinng that needs adjusted before v.2 files will open?

Thanks again!

deadastronaut · February 16, 2011, 12:25:34 PM

my 2p worth..

i think i prefer the layout of version 1...with all the components and jacks etc...in the left column

but i like version 2 for drawing schematics.....great programs either way... just my preference i guess!..

now if we had the combination of all 3 and could choose which visual layout we prefered, and it was all backward compatible ..that would be superb..

Thanks man.

v2 import is still not functional, but will be.
