On the Internet you will find practically all electronic problems circuits that can be used in your own projects. Sometimes it performs a flying wiring. If it becomes more complex, you test the circuit on a breadboard. But at some point the project must work firmly in a housing and require a circuit board. There are people who are associated with breadboard and for which breadboard design can be transferred 1: 1 and soldered. Point and petrol grid boards are also popular, are really good and with the professional coat of paint, it is not often. After all, all this is a circuit board on the computer.

This is not difficult and is not expensive now. But which program should you learn? We provide an observation of three very different E-CADs or EDA programs (electronic CAD or electronic design automation), stand for an entire class of each software. At the end of this article you know which program class you should try.
- Three “classes” of e-card in test
- Private assistance for beginners
- Open source, free or browser -based
More on the subject
Simple boards can be eTched or untouched, but prices for professionally manufactured boards are now so low that it is hardly economically worth it. European and German finishers are now equal to China’s companies at a price. It looks a bit different with the stocked boards, but hey, where is the fun of soldering?
