Hi all!

Does anyone here do PCB design, need a basic board laying out.

Any comments welcome thanks

 
There are online tools that are free that link to sites that can make the PCB's for you.

It is a learning curve and one that started to climb and gave up on, mainly because I could see that the programmers could just as easily automate things to make the process easier to understand..

I am still searching for a tool that does the job in a user friendly and logical manner and not the weird convoluted methods that are more like 3D Autocad, makes me wonder what is going through programmers minds these days.

https://easyeda.com/ is not easy at all, in fact, its very confusing.

https://circuitmaker.com/ never tried this, its a new offering by Google.

http://www.kicad-pcb.org/ didn't get off the starting blocks, I was stuck at the blank start page.

https://sourceforge.net/projects/tinycad/ is one I am about to try, another new offering by google search.

 
Yes they will do it well and timely.

However the prices they are charging are ridiculously out of proportion.
