I have been using EasyEDA for over a year now with great results. I'd like to recommend EasyEDA.It's a free web based PCB tool for anyone involved in electronics design and able to share the work with others. The remix includes the EDA files and documentation. The footprint library that I use is available at Īlso I have a variety of EDA automation scripts on my site.Īs an example of gEDA/PCB I did a remix of the Drawdio circuit design that There is a learning curveĪssociated with any EDA tool or other complex piece of software. Or a tool that locks you in to a specific PCB vendor.

There are also tools forīe careful of choosing a free version of an EDA tool that is crippled The scriptability is what has made the difference. The schematic capture is better but the PCB layout seems more difficult. I have found gEDA to be a more productive

The open file formats makeĪ wide variety of EDA automation tasks possible.
