Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] Free PCB question

2011-02-19 by Charles Patton

Free editors I suggested earlier are:
a)
  I have briefly tested Suigyodo Schematic
(http://www.suigyodo.com/online/e/index.htm) and it seems to work fine
and is capable of generating compatible netlists including footprint
names to be included in the netlist.

b)
LTspice shematic netlist outputs can be edited to add footprints.  See:

   LTspice is a fantastic combined free schematic pgm/SPICE simulator 
available from:
(http://www.linear.com/designtools/software/ltspice.jsp)
So do your schematic and simulations in LTspice, then export the netlist
and make it compatible to FreePCB.
