The layout files available from Gumstix are posted at pub.gumstix.com

eg http://pubs.gumstix.com/boards/COMS/

Hello All--

Can Gumstix (or anyone else, for that matter) provide a STEP file for the Overo Earth, or if not, some other form of 3D model (IGES, etc.) importable into common CAD software (Autocad, for example, since that's what I have here).

I find the models for "Google SketchUp 5 & 6", and "Collada", but I don't see any straightforward way of taking these models into Autocad; I'm after a real CAD model in a standard format, if available.

As a secondary choice, a model for any of the Overo or Verdex boards would still be useful to me at this time, though my preference would be for the Overo Earth.  (I'm doing some concept level work for a proposal, so the exact device isn't critical at this stage.)

Thanks much;

Regards--

Don--

Thanks for the reply.

Yes, I've already found those resources that you mention, in my own rooting about; however, there are not actual 3D models there (unless I'm mistaken?).

I find drawings of the connector locations, what look like Eagle libraries, and some other things.  But, a STEP file (or IGES, or other form of 3D model) would be an actual 3D representation of the Overo board itself, which I could import into my CAD software, so that I could insert the Overo as a component in a much larger assembly that I'm designing.

By digging around, I find these models:

http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=64bb986a5deac392e55eaf79ca7dc5e7

However, these are for google sketchup and collada, which seem more like for graphical rendering / arts-and-crafts; I need a real CAD model with accurate dimensions, placements of components, etc., in order to fit the Gumstix into a complex and crowded assembly.

Thanks, Dave

Dave,

This might be a bit of a round about way to do it, but Blender can
import Collada files, and export DWG.

Hi Austin--

Thanks for that info; I was not aware of Blender.  But if it can get me to a .dwg, then that may be the most straightforward way...  I'll give it a whirl...

Thanks, Dave
