• Effective June 7, 2026, Autodesk will no longer sell nor support EAGLE

  There's also https://librepcb.org/ Has anyone had time to try Horizon and/or LibrePCB and compare them to KiCad? - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago

• What is "this type" of PCB "called"

  On the open source front, LibrePCB seems to be the only contender, never used it myself, but have heard good things and met some devs at a conference and they were nice. The level of support you get there may be a bit more personal. Otoh, if you've never designed PCBs before, it may be hard to even tell if something is a bug... Source: 11 months ago

• Hardware design on linux

  I would throw LibrePCB into the mix. Coming from Eagle, it was easier for me to grasp than KiCad. Source: 11 months ago

• How can I make professional looking schematics for free?

  Also LibrePCB at https://librepcb.org A bit "lighter" in size than KiCad. Source: about 2 years ago

• from where should I start for designing my own PCB?

  I've been turning out some nice results from LibrePCB. It has a learning curve like anything else but its not an impossibly convoluted workflow like some of the more established FOSS programs out there. Source: over 2 years ago

Autodesk Tinkercad mentions (74)

• Need advice on Arduino projects and programming

  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: 4 months ago

• Arduino calender clock project

  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: 4 months ago

• I’m not a mechanic, but I just rolled these guys out of my shop for a cat show I was vending at.

  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

• Anyone know where I can find an STL for record player Stitch?

  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: 11 months ago

• Brand new: what do I do?

  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
