I'm a young engineer with extensive experience working on EAGLE. My interests include Power Supply design and LED solid state lighting, and I'm always impressed by a well designed PCB.

  • Dear: Jorge

    I am a big fan of eagle but there are few problems with it. It is so unbelievably expensive. I am trying to design a PCB with eagle and the free version of eagle won't let me design a PCB bigger than 6" and have multiple layers to it. I looked at the eagle homepage and I found out there is a way to design a PCB for the requirements I need it to be but for a lower price. Unfortunately what I mean be lower price isn't actually that low and is about 170 USD. Do you know if there are any PCB CAD soft wares available but is free and open source because I don't want to pay 170 USD.

    Before describing $170 as "unbelievably expensive", I suggest you check

    the retail price of Altium, Orcad, Protel, Mentor or others of the like!

     

    If it's open source you're after, which Eagle isn't, then this probably

    isn't the right place to be asking. I assume you've noticed the name of

    the group (Eagle support) and the subject line (about CadSoft EAGLE)?

     

     

    That said, yes there are FOSS electronics CAD programs, which can be

    easily found with Google. So why not try that first?

    Dear: Cadsoft Guest;

    I took your advice and I found this really amazing software called FreePCB. Thanks for your help and if anybody in the future doesn't want to buy eagle I suggest they use FreePCB.
