Circuit diagram software

Post by micfiz »

I searched the forum for this topic and got 0 returns. I want to know what software is used on this site to describe the project circuits. The example is on the Temperature tutorial at this link, http://www.ladyada.net/learn/sensors/tmp36.html. Its about 3/4's way down the page and has a nice image of the arduino with colored lines to a TMP36. I want to get this software to diagram my projects for lab book documentation.

You can make diagrams like that with Fritzing

"dip trace" is good, and they have a free version

www.diptrace.com

"rimu schematic" is good, they have an older ver as freebie

Do you know about EasyEDA, another great circuit diagran software. It is the best circuit design tool for me, free, zero-install, easy to use and brings you easier EDA experience. It integrates powerful schematic capture, mixed-mode circuit simulation and PCB layout.
It can run on it on windows , mac , linux or android platform, as long as there is one browser on the OS and connecting to network.
It can import Schematics and PCB Files form Eagle, Altium Designer, Kicad, LTspice.
It provides SVG source to preview Schematic, PCB Layout and Gerber file
It provides rich spice models to make simulation .
It provides simulation viewform viewer .
It provides easy PCB order which saves your time to make sample PCB .
Every project you create on https://easyeda.com/editor can be private, shared, or public.private, shared, or public.

To join the bandwagon of "this is my favorite EDA suite", I use KiCAD. The developers have finally gone back to releasing stable packages. Check it out at http://kicad-pcb.org/

A couple items of note since the previous "Stable" release a few years ago:
  • Push-and-shove routing (thanks to coding support from some people at CERN).
  • Interactive differential trace routing and tuning.
  • Interactive trace length tuning.
  • Support for component footprints stored (and updated) on git repositores. (The official footprint libraries are currently on GitHub, available for public branching and merging.)
  • OpenGL display rendering.
  • New s-expression based pcb and footprint format. (Easier to read and manually modify for developing custom workflow tools in other languages.)
Full release details at http://kicad-pcb.org/post/release-4.0.0/ and the current stable release is v4.0.1

If you haven't looked at KiCAD in a while, check it out again.
