Any suggestion on Designing Software

[ssnickson]

I need a free circuit design software which can be used for my collage project. I need to do a circuit using PIC,Encoder,Motor driver. Any suggestion?

Interesting to make a functional collage from electronic parts. Somebody made one that looked like a bug. I once made a collage from pieces of wire; it looked like a duck.

aww c'mon. PSpice is too old... use Multisim, perhaps?

Thanks let me try this out

from National Instruments, I'd like to add.

How you gonna simulate a PIC and motor in Multisim?

 

[Vizier87]

Of course you can't.. but if he's trying to learn how to start with simple stuff... well.

Actually i m not looking software to do simulation i just need a circuit designing software where i can just drag and drop the components i m using and can connect. Later maybe i would like to do simulation so if you any recommendation to do simulation also welcome. Thanks for you hlp

You only need a schematic creation program then. Others on here use those, and can guide you. I don't use them; just trying to put your request in Electro-Tech Online speak.

I use LTspice (aka SwitcherCAD) from Linear Technology - Linear Home Page for simulation, and eagle from CadSoft Online: EAGLE Layout Editor for final design and board creation.

 

[BrownOut]

Can you export your schematic from LTSipce ot Eagle, or do you have to make it all over again?

 

[mneary]

Gotta make it all over again.

 

[BrownOut]

Oh man, that sucks.

Hey thanks alot i think LTSpice works good but how to add PIC into LTSpice circuit design?

Target 3001 does it all, schematic, PCB layout, and simulation. IBF-Wiki
