Post by: SILVERGUN on July 18, 2019, 02:50:32 pm
Has anyone found an app for Android that will allow opening .sch files?

I didn't think of that.
Maybe someone has made a Windows 95 sim for droid  :dontknow:

That seems to be an e-book training manual, not a display tool.

I thot the base tool for our .SCH files was Jschem by Heinz, now hosted at:
http://jschem.bplaced.net/

It is a Java application, so tends to run on anything smart, but I don't know how to do it on Android. Play Store has many leads but most seem to be trainers or editors, not Java runners.

Ive been using expesspch/sch since beta release, funny they just emailed wanting feedback on a board estimate I submitted, told 'em I was poor and Doug made me a turret version for ~ 1/5th the cost  :icon_biggrin:

Tried this one today with no luck after checking the website and seeing SCH files listed as viewable.
I uploaded a sample .sch schematic and got an error opening.

I went to expessPC, read through FAQ's nothing, left an email, was told they don't use viewers since the software allows you to view  :think1:
guessin it's an SOL thing

I can't find that.

expessSCH is not the only program that uses the file extension "sch". And the file formats are completely different, therefore incompatible.

I can't find that.
From this page- https://viewer.autodesk.com/

I realize this list is for the desktop viewer, but because they say "over 100 file types" on the Play store app description I assumed this was the list,,, cause it was the only file list I could find on their website

Autodesk ain't talking about .sch files made by ExpressSCH program.

I might take you up on that.
This originally came to my attention when I was trying to help a forum member who was referencing one of tubenits .sch schematics.
I was out and about and have plenty of data to use for the download, just couldn't get it to open.

By the time I would have you do the conversion you would have already helped the guy. :icon_biggrin:

anytime
I started a brief 10min look to the "future" replacement for my win 7 starter notebook.  Google  and Apple based OS are a NO for me, pickins where pretty slim after that  :cussing:
