Keith - thank you for sharing your insights. If you know of a small firm that could accept a MS Visio or PDF electrical schematic file, from the Visio drawing and produce a PCB from that schematic I would be interested in exploring that route. My PCB requirements are very low level - never...
There are 3 to 5 VDC RF receivers. I have been using them for prototype development. A matching transmitter, also running on 3 to 5 VDC could be required. Your post does not mention application specifics (distance/frequency) so please consider my notes as very general.
As noted in one of the...
Scotty,
I have used the LT Spice sim. It is good for small circuit simulation and could suffice for the small one time and one board projects I am working with.
Up to now I have been using the EE package with Microsoft Visio and sending the schematic to a supplier. With time becoming scarce I...
Thank you Noway2. I did start with your recommendation however programs such TinyCAD and others are either very limited or "crash" while I am using the software. Running on Windows XP with Dell Precision M6300 and 3.5 GB of available RAM and about 65 GB available space on my hard drive.
I...
Is there a easy to learn schematic capture software for very simple circuits. Would like be able to port the schematic to an on-line PCB supplier or to a Gerber file. Capability to link with Digi-Key and pull in components with cost and part numbers would be a big plus. A simulator is not...
