I have testes several logic analyzers (both commercial and DIY) and software for them. I would like to see on this Open Source world is some kind of common format logic analyzer data presentation and maybe common API for accessing the information. In this way it would be easy to write all kinds of applications →
EasyEDA is an integrated tool for schematic capture, circuit simulation and PCB layout that you use with your web browser.EasyEDA homepage advertises: “EasyEDA is a free, zero-install, Web and Cloud-based EDA tool suite, integrating powerful schematic capture, mixed-mode circuit simulator and PCB layout in a seamless cross-platform browser environment, for electronic engineers, educators, students and →
Many electronics hackers have habit of using Eagle to design their PCBs. You’ll find plenty of support for this software as well as a lot of parts libraries, the free version of Eagle software comes with limitations (board area is limited to 4×3.2 inches, only two signal layers and the schematics editor can only create →
Every now and then there are situations where you need to draw timing diagram. I have drawn those sometimes with different tools, but none of them have been ideal (text description, hand drawings, ASCII art etc..). So what are the existing solutions worth to check out? There are font-based solutions that let you “type” the →
Here are some tips for circuit board design: Design in Package Flexibility into Your Next PCB tells that to err is human: to order the wrong component foot print is just part of engineering – it happens to us all who work with hardware. David Cook has a solution that could save your bacon. He →
What is the best free or cheap electronics design software? It is hard to say in this ever changing field. I some time ago mentioned some software examples in Top Free Electronics Design Tools posting and you can find a long comparison list at Wikipedia Comparison of EDA software page. For the circuit design I would →
