Hi there all, I am looking for a entry level PCB package that is under 200$, the big ones like orcad proteus and eagle are to expensive, can anyone suggest another option, I have downloaded a demo of Ranger 2 by Seetrax, any thoughts?
2) I have been using a pirate version of Orcad and want to get my things in order so if it can use Orcad files all the better.
4) Like an auto router.
I suggest checking out Rimu PCB
Rimu is the only payware package that meets your budget.[1] gEDA (DJ Delorie's "PCB" has already been mentioned), KiCAD, and TinyCAD are all open-source. . .
Forget that. All the data will have to be re-entered--especially on your budget.
--clumbsy at best. . . [1] EAGLE can be had for $200 per module (160mm x 100mm). You could license the Layout module only and use the freeware Autorouter and Schematic Capture modules (requires batch files to swap registered/freeware keys).
Er, Harry Eaton's "PCB" (formerly Thomas Nau's "PCB"). I'm just one of the developers, and not even in the top half of the totem pole. I just happen to be the one developer that frequents these groups ;-)
10-4. That's me mistaking *highest profile hereabouts* with *lone hand on the tiller*.
