Best PCBCAD package for beginner.

Sep 02, 2017 3 Replies

Does anyone have any recommendations for PCB design package.



Looking at EasyPC and PCBCAD51 at the moment. Seems a big difference in price for two things that do a similar job.


Why not have a look at KiCad - it is free, and seems to be well-regarded.

Take a look at Diptrace as well

I've used FreePCB and it works well. No impedance controlled traces and other fancy stuff, but much easier to learn than KiCAD. Better name too.
