Three great programs for the electronic engineer and radio amateur
№ 1 Proteus .
A powerful design program that can be used to virtually simulate the operation of a huge number of analog and digital devices. Helps you design your own circuits, and debug the circuit without assembling the circuit on a breadboard, which is very beneficial to the process. Huge library of parts, from resistors to microcontrollers.
The program package includes
- circuit editor
- PCB editor, with the possibility of autotracing.
In my opinion, a great program and I use it all the time.
#2 DipTrace.
A good program for circuit design and PCB layout, great for small amateur radio crafts. Package 2 of DipTrace includes
- circuit editor.
- board editor.
- component editor and their case editor, as well as a 3D case editor.
The undeniable plus of this program is that, having drawn a scheme in the schematic editor, it can be opened in the board editor, place the elements on the board, as you like, and press autotrace and the program itself will divorce the board. After the board will be ready it will be possible to see in 3d how it will look like it is very cool.
№ 3 Sprint-Layout
In my opinion it is also an excellent program for drawing PCBs, but unlike DipTrace it does not have automatic tracing, but the simplicity of using this program smooths it out. The ability to quickly and without unnecessary headache draw your own component, which is not in the library.
Thank you, everybody. Bye, everybody.
