Circuit and PCB-Design
There are many software packages that help with the creation and planing of schematics, as well as the translation of this schematic into a PCB that can be sent of to manufacturing. While this fabrication process might seem cumbersome and a bit luxurious, soldering a PCB is usually much less error prone and time efficient than wiring something by hand.

|---|---|
| Horizon-EDA | A modern Open-Source Software that can be used to draw schematics, layout PCBs and export them in a format suitable for fabrication. In Comparison with KiCAD this offers a more streamlined UI and more modern features, while the parts library is still smaller. Prefered choice of the workshop. |
| KiCAD | The traditional Open-Source EDA (Electronic Design Automation) Software. Has a huge parts library, sadly parts managment and UI are anything but modern |
| LibrePCB | Another Open-Source EDA software worth looking into |
| Fritzing | A good software for beginners and people who don’t want to manufacture PCBs |
Electronics Simulation
Often it makes sense to simulate a circuit before going of an buying the parts. This can help safe time, money and nerves.
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| CircuitJS | A simple realtime browser-based circuit simulator. While it might not be 100% accurate in all cases, it helps to get a quick feeling for most circuits |
| LTSpice | A free (but not open source) circuit simulator with a very old school interface. But it allows for very accurate simulations if the right models are used |
