    How To Choose Your PCB Design

    Software to Design Open-Source

    Hardware

    When you start designing your own open-source hardware

    projects, you usually start by building a prototype, where you

    assemble your project on a breadboard using already existing

    components. And after that, you have the PCB (Printed Circuit

    Board) design step, where you will formalise your design in

    the form of a PCB that you can later produce in large

    quantities.

    Some years ago, when I started studying electrical

    engineering, the choice was simple: to design a PCB, youneeded to get a PCB design software (paid or free), install it on

    your computer, and start designing your board. Today, it’s a

    bit more complex: there are now SaaS (Software as a Service)

    solutions out there to design your PCBs online, without having

    to download or install anything. So which solution is better to

    design open-source hardware? Local or SaaS? Paid or free?This article tackles this question with four examples of PCB

    design software.

    the de facto software

    to design open-

    source hardware

    projects. The software itself is not open-source, you even have

    to pay for it (even if you can do a lot with the freeware

    version). However, nearly all open-source hardware projects

    out there are using Eagle. For example Arduino is releasing all

    their board designs in the Eagle format.

    The interface is a bit dated, even if they made a lot of 

    improvements with the version 7. It is also directly compatible

    with some online PCB fabrication services like OSH Park,

    where you can just upload your Eagle design files directly. So

    yes, it is not the best software out there, it is not open-source,

    but it is still a good solution to go for if you want to re-use

    already existing open-source hardware designs.

    source PCB design

    software I know. It

    has a decent

    interface, nearly at

    the level of Eagle,

    and is available for all platforms like Windows, OS X, and of 

    course Linux. All the modules of this PCB design software are

    open-source, it’s of course completely free, and even has

    some nice modules like 3D visualisation of your PCB.

    It has also be supported by the CERN which promised to put a

    lot of effort into it to make it even better. You won’t find that

    many projects out there (yet!) in the KiCad format, so if your

    main concern is to re-use existing open-source designs, you

    might consider Eagle instead. However, a lot of people are

    currently working on porting popular open-source designs to

    KiCad, like the Arduino boards reference designs.

    of. And I have to

    admit, coming from

    a very ‘traditional’

    PCB design

    background, it’spretty damn cool. Not only you don’t have anything to install

    (you just need to create an account and you’re done), the

    interface is really modern and clean. Miles away from a

    software like Eagle.

    It stills lacks some functionalities and some componentscompared to Eagle, but you can already design some serious

    PCBs with it. The nice thing is that you also have all the

    advantages of an online software: you can instantly see what

    other people are doing, and re-use their open-source designs.

    You can also instantly fabricate your PCB as they have links

    with PCB manufacturers. And if your project is open-source,

    you can use Upverter for free!

    mention the online

    tool EasyEDA. Not

    only you can design

    PCBs using this tool,

    but you can actually

    also simulate your

    circuits in your

    browser! Of course, not all components are supported, but it

    can really give you some insights on your design and make

    sure you are not making a fatal mistake.

    They also have all the ‘online’ features of Upverter, like the

    possibility to browse designs made by other users, order your

    PCB directly from the browser, etc… The interface is not at the

    level of Upverter, and there are still missing functionalities,

    but it is definitely a tool to watch for in the future.

    So What to Choose?

    Of course, choosing the ‘right’ software for your project is a

    complex question. I believe that as with all software, the future

    is in online SaaS solutions, and therefore my first choice

    would be Upverter. However, if re-using existing designs is

    this article was written, but I really think it is going to change

    in a close future. Finally, if you really want to stay open-source

    all the way, then go for KiCad.
