  • You mean to say that in order to use the "free" reference designs, you need to get a 5k$ software package first ? I have difficulties grasping the "no cost" part of this all.

    I doubt any hobbyist, maker, or student would be willing to pay for something that can be done for free otherwise.

     

    Could you perhaps elaborate on why PADS is a better alternative and why it would be worth the 5k$ price tag ?

     

    Edit: The Designer Schematic & Layout tools seem to have a 864$ price tag. Better than 5k$, but can it do all that is required? It's still expensive considering a target audience of hobbyists, makers and students though.

    $864 per year (i.e. subscription) from what I can tell.

    One model I like is seeing organizations these days aim for sub-$100 software products for individuals with community-led support (i.e. no guaranteed response-time/resolution), because it helps the company

    test out their latest software features on individuals, before rolling out a mature version in $$$ supported software.
