Derivative

Hi

I know its contrary to Open Source, but for most Hobbyists Eagle is easier to use.

I have started to re-layout your v1.4 board as a Eagle board, in the process shriking it enough to fit underneath the printbed, mounted to the threaded rods, on a Printrbot. This should save some cost...

Can I make a derivative (new page) and link it from yours?

Sure you can make a derivative. Please just don't call it "Gen7", much less "Gen7 v1.4.1". This will confuse users, because Gen7 will continue to develop, too. What I can see from the picture, feature-parity isn't intended: usage of SMT chips, no extension board header, different endstop headers, etc. One could also name it a single sided Sanguinololu, so why link from the Gen7 page?

Peter, I've seen you simply ignored what I said and still call your derivative "Gen7" in your blog, now "v1.4A". This isn't a Generation 7 Electronics, your design has flaws which were solved for Gen7 long ago. Enough said. --Traumflug 22:03, 30 July 2012 (UTC)

Wrong Tag

Hi,

I found that there is a wrong tag. {{Languages|Gen7 Board 1.4}} should be {{Languages|Gen7 Board 1.4.1}}. However, the France version uses the wrong tag as well. Shall we move them back to correct location?

Thanks, unioasis
