Hi folks,

Some the little sample projects that I've been sharing over on the Project Showcase are getting large enough that it would be helpful to post a schematic along with the code. I expect the circuits will only get bigger as time goes on. ;)

I've been out of the electronics hobby for a while, so I'm curious what kind of schematic capture software is hobbyist-friendly. Basically, this means free (or cheap), and easy to learn.

It looks like Eagle supports schematic capture as well as PCB layout, and has a limited freeware version.

I've also heard some recommendations for KiCad (open-source).

Are there any others I should look into? I'm on the Windows platform, BTW.
Thanks,
~ David ~

Did you look at Fritzing? It's what I use to document schematics for my projects.
And CW2 already created Fritzing part for Netduino.

Thanks, Szymon. I'll take a look at Fritzing - it looks interesting.
