Based on our record, Autodesk Tinkercad should be more popular than BRL-CAD. It has been mentiond 74 times since March 2021. We are tracking product recommendations and mentions on various public social media platforms and blogs. They can help you identify which product is more popular and what people think of it.
In addition to the other great suggestions here I wanted to point out that you can practice and learn a lot for free using an online simulator such as wokwi.com and tinkercad.com (among others)! And you don't have to buy an Arduino or any parts to get started! Source: 5 months ago
And you can prototype all of this first to get it working for free using an online simulator at sites like wokwi.com or tinkercad.com! Source: 5 months ago
Hit up tinkercad.com and you can start making things right away. My first design was there and it probably took 5 minutes for the prototype, then 15 minutes to tweak measurements. Really easy (and free) to dive in by doing. Once you nail that, you can get Fusion360 (also free for personal use) or a number of others. Source: 10 months ago
When it comes to somewhat simple designs like this, I use tinkercad.com - it's a realllly basic drawing CAD web interface and you can make some pretty great stuff with it with a little creativity. Source: 12 months ago
But if you want to start right now without buying anything go to tinkercad.com and create an account. You can create circuits and put code in there It's probably best to mess around there first anyway while you get used to resistors etc so you don't blow anything. Source: 12 months ago
If computer graphics is of interest, BRL-CAD (https://brlcad.org) is very welcoming to new contributors and has lots of projects you could take on. Source: about 1 year ago

Join an open source community that is welcoming to newcomers (e.g., BRL-CAD, Haiku OS, OSGeo, ..) and work on a little bit of code every day. It can be a simple feature, specific bug, or something new you want to achieve. Many open source groups are very welcoming to newcomers if you do the work and ask smart questions.

You could also try out free AutoCAD alternatives like libreCAD (2D), or brlCAD (2D&3D, I believe). Source: about 1 year ago
So, uh ... Learning curve. If you want anything and everything under the sun, go with BRL-CAD. It was designed for ballistics testing and simulation, but it can do pretty much anything. The learning curve for BRL-CAD is immense. Otherwise, I recommend OpenSCAD. Source: about 1 year ago
