![]() ![]() I kinda wish these programs had (do any of them have it?) a text-only way of connecting pins for schematics, so there's no mistake as to what connects where. It started well,m I defined my own components there that I need, but as soon as I started laying out teh schematics, cable/connection drawing went tits up getting confused on which pins it would stick. Yesterday I tried ExpressPCB, (the link for the other one never came, talk about shitty). (feel free to suggest software that runs on other platforms, for everyone's reference, but personally am only interested in Win7-compatible programs) ![]() ![]() Please don't suggest commercial software, I am a hobbyist trying to learn, have no idea what I am doing, and have no money for such tings anyway. I only managed to make a rat's nest of a breadboard, but that didn't translate to a PCB by the autoroute at all, and when I tried to do it by hand is when it all failed.Īnyway I found a few options by googling like "ExpressPCB" and "Bay Area Circuits PCB Creator" which asks you for your email to send you the download link (annoying) and that link never arrived (quadruple annoying), but I'd like to hear from the hardware makers here. I spent my whole day today creating my own custom ICs and then it was reaaaaally messy to get it working properly (things don't snap into place properly, objects snap out of grids, etc). ![]() I'm trying to make a PCB (not that complicated but not that simple, lots of connections) and I tried Fritzing, but it was absolutely annoying to use. What is, according to you, the best PCB design software available for free? ![]()
