ReprapDiscount Full Graphic LCD Controller
==========================================
This is the ReprapDiscount Full Graphic LCD Controller:
http://forum.reprapdiscount.com/threads/full-graphics-smart-controller-open-source-files.619/
I took their Altium Designer files, ran them through an automated
Altium-to-KiCad conversion (http://www2.futureware.at/KiCad/), and cleaned
up the files. Gerbers have been generated. At this point, symbols and
footprints are pretty much as they were imported.
This project is probably more about liberating open hardware from closed EDA
than anything else, and as a simple test, it succeeded. :)
The original Altium files are in the originals directory for verification
purposes.
