This course was notable mainly for Marcio Schneider who has extremely clear Portuguese and a gift for explaining complex topics. His explanation of diode / PN junction being all about the diffusion current was very good.

IC related entities in Brazil – Many appear to be supported by the government

University with IC programs – This is an alternative to the CT1, CT2 programs if the only way in is a competition with engineering talent with 80 vacancies per year in a country of 240 million people.
UFSC – The RF IC program is headed by Fernando Rangel de Sousa – My Summary Page

Fernando Rangel is said to use ADS much and Cadence much less. This may defeat my objectives.

From the ReadMe.txt file
Notepad++ has a User Defined Language facility that is documented in its help files and at the NpWiki++: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/notepad-plus/index.php?title=User_Defined_Languages
The file "Notepad++ UserDefineLang for Cadsoft ULP v0.1.xml" contains a beta release of a Notepad++ user defined language corresponding to ULP for Cadsoft Eagle v5.
This language defintion may not always correctly display ULP keywords, for example, owing to white space or your variable names.
To use this langauge definition in Notepad++ click View | User-Defined Dialog | Import and select the XML file. Now when editing a file with extension .ULP the Eagle
ULP keywords should be formatted according to the styles in the User-Defined dialog.
In order to have Notepad++ automatically open the ULP file and position the cursor on the line of an error in a ULP, you need Eagle V5.5 or later.
Set the Eagle Options | User Interface | External Text Editor field to (include the quotation marks and edit the Notepad++.exe location to suit your installation):
"C:\Program Files\Notepad++\Notepad++.exe" -n%L "%F"
Please refer to "Help | Editor Windows | Text Editor" in the Eagle help files for more information.
Implementation Notes
Running ULP from within NotePad++
Next I want to be able to execute the ULP from within NotePad++. To do this I need to be able to
Execution from within NotePad++: You can run eagle from a dead start using Windows 7 command line. See Running Eagle ULP from windows command line and terminating eagle when done .
I want to be able to write a script to mass change all the libraries that a project depends on in order to make better B.O.M. Bill Of Materials. The following script lists the libraries in the project directory. It writes the names of the libraries with full path to a text file named: ListOfLibraries.txt
//—— Get the Project Path ——//
string Project_Path;
string get_project_path() {
if (board) board(B) return(filedir(B.name));
if (schematic) schematic(S) return(filedir(S.name));
if (library) library(L) return(filedir(L.name));
}
Project_Path = get_project_path();
dlgMessageBox(Project_Path, "+Yes", "No","Maybe");
string F[];
int i;
int n = fileglob(F, Project_Path + "*.lbr"); //– Get file names with .lbr extension in project directory
output(Project_Path + "ListOfLibraries.txt", "wt"){ for(i=0;i<n;i++){ printf(F[i] + "\n");} } //– Write all the .lbr file names to text file
string ResultOfLibCount;
sprintf(ResultOfLibCount, "The number of libraries is %d", n);
dlgMessageBox(ResultOfLibCount, "+Yes", "No","Maybe");
fileglob stuffs an array with the files that satisfy the condition specified by the string supplied.
When you need to know the path of the project you are running the ULP within the following code snippet is useful.
string get_project_path() {
if (board) board(B) return(filedir(B.name));
if (schematic) schematic(B) return(filedir(S.name));
if (library) library(B) return(filedir(L.name));
}
string Directory;
Directory = get_project_path();
dlgMessageBox(Directory, "+Yes", "No","Maybe");
