Importable schematic files

Hello 3dartists: can you clarify a few things for us:

- are there any plans on releasing importable schematic files? currently we can only see a pdf file which is no importable and has questions raised against it in a couple of mailing lists which also raise questions about the gerber files

- what exactly is a "No STOP Printer Filter Power Supply Input" ?

- it has been indicated on the deltabot mailing list that there is a rev 2:

"We made two versions of Alligator to optimize it for the better. The final version that we are delivering to users is the rev2 implemented with all the solutions adopted."

- What version is on git-hub? and does it at least contain all these fixes? currently it indicates that it is "1.6- draft" , the "not opensource" tag was removed on the basis that the source was accurate and met Repraps lowest common denominator regarding opensource "sources sufficient to make a copy"

- sources are not usable to make a copy , there is missing information eg component placement, BOM , etc

Page has been locked because the author has removed the "not open source" tag without satisfying what was requested in the tag, it will be unlocked once the above concerns have been met--Thejollygrimreaper (talk) 14:53, 1 April 2015 (PDT)

Document Update

"No STOP Printer Filter Power Supply Input" means that the Alligator board is designed to have filters on power supply and on the interfaces, that prevent the reset of the printer in case of disturbances. With other boards we experimented printer reset due to electrical disturbances on power lines or on usb cable, and we have designed our board solving these problems.

The schematic on git-hub is updated to the rev02 of the Alligator Board. We have made a commit on github with the Part List and the Assembly Drawing as requested. Then now we hope that you remove the banner on the wiki page of our board.
