Interview: Creating a FOSS printed circuit board design tool
- Jefro118 7y agoEditor here. This interview is a great example of a useful project emerging from frustration and tinkering. Urban was unsatisfied with the proprietary tools for making PCBs while building a quadcopter, and ended up making something much bigger in the course of solving his own problem.
- redis_mlc 7y agoFYI: KiCad is very good and is funded by CERN: http://www.kicad-pcb.org/ http://www.kicad-pcb.org/ Licence is GPL3/AGPL3. KiCad has high-end drawing features, but the commercial tools will always have better parts libraries.
