Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

These free or low cost starter kits are great for learning, and probably all that an average hobbyist will ever need.

But they also come with some deliberate built in limitations, usually either the maximum physical board size, or the number of component "pins".

So when you are shopping for PCB software, look very carefully for these two limitations that are often buried down deep in the fine print.

Cheers,  Tony.

Dear Warpspeed,
I guest you to use Kicad under *nix like.

This is not a toy but a mature tool in perpetual evolution.

Well, no.
I actually use Proteus.
Cheers,  Tony.
