    @Brendan Your video is somewhat adequate for the intended purpose, however, from an engineer's point of view it is lacking in providing pertinent facts. Such as the part number, data sheet, and source…

    Jeremy, thanks for your intro videos. I am just getting started myself in Arduino though I have done some simple electronics projects using Atmel chips. Here is an example using ATTiny13 chips. www.youtube…

    The most populare seems to be Eagle Cad, http://cadsoftusa.com/ which is free download.

     

    I prefer Pad2Pad however - http://www.pad2pad.com/

    I have not tried Pad2Pad, but Eagle CAD is very good. It also works on Macs as well as Windows.

     

    IMHO, its also very strange to use. It doesn't really obey any of the mouse / menu / drawing conventions that we are so used to on our PCs. So, buy a book about it and accept that it will take a good few hours of not doing anything productive with it, before you understand what's going on.

    I use eagle cad, and agree that the interface can be a little weird.  Sparkfun has some excellent tutorials on using it though.  http://www.sparkfun.com/tutorials/109

    Dear Jeremy,

    I am completely new to arduino and i just wanted to ask one simple question. If I were to buy the arduino mega 2560. Would I be able to build a hexapod that has 18 servo motors with it. Also i am kinda new to robotics but i really love them and i have been dying to build one. i have been doing a lot of research on them and i hoping to start making it sometime after christmas. I am hoping you can help me with it.
