Re: USB scope pcb's. compare PCBCAD51 with Kicad


 

开云体育

Circad was the 3rd PCB CAD I played with.

It gave me my home brew fat traces desired result

BUT

its price tag is waaaaaaaay out of my league to buy a current version of it.


As far as OS goes....??

I have a new Win 10?? HP model? 15bs212wm

which is a full size laptop with a DVD player and Celeron N4000 CPU 1.1 gHz ... 4 GB RAM

with 464GB disk space.

This was the cheapest computer I could walk out of Walmart with that was not a CHROMEBOOK.


and


Which is definitely the slowest brand new PC you can buy.

So..........

I am not about to compare apples to oranges with the hardware considering adding gigabytes of RAM speeds up anything you have

and

you can buy refurbed DELL i5? optiplex computers for $150 now that dwarf Celeron performance....

so

forgetting about any kind of SPEED discussion here

MY INTEREST IS IN MAKING IT WORK without spending months tripping over "gotchas"

and

this PCBCAD51 gave me desired results in a little less than an hour while following the "built in"? instructions.

What OS are you using. Maybe Win7 will have a better feel for me to try it again. I like it originally as it reminded
me of Circad from Holophase. Circad is really nice, but stupidly overpriced.

Otherwise, Kicad is hard to beat.
