The gEDA project has produced and continues working on a full GPL’d suite of Electronic Design Automation tools. These tools are used for electrical circuit design, schematic capture, simulation, prototyping, and production. Currently, the gEDA project offers a mature suite of free software applications for electronics design, including schematic capture, attribute management, bill of materials [...]
ABACOM LochMaster – BreadBoard projects
LochMaster 4.0 is a developers tool for BreadBoard projects. It has useful functions for designing, documenting and testing project boards. A Schematic design has been made, either from experience coupled with testing out application note blocks together. It could also be trying out an idea from a Magazine. If you have simulation tools, you may [...]
Stellarium Open Source 3D Planetarium
Stellarium is free GPL software which renders realistic skies in real time with openGL. With Stellarium, you really see what you can see with your eyes, binoculars or a small telescope. Stellarium is also used in real planetariums. Stellarium Open Source 3D Planetarium From Linux and Lamp – Open Source Software Works with Linux, Mac [...]
Celestia – The free space simulation
Celestia – The free space simulation The free space simulation that lets you explore our universe in three dimensions. Celestia runs on Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X. Unlike most planetarium software, Celestia doesn’t confine you to the surface of the Earth. You can travel throughout the solar system, to any of over 100,000 stars, [...]
Soundcard Oscilloscope by Christian Zeitnitz
The Soundcard Oscilloscope receives its data from the Soundcard with 44.1kHz and 16 Bit resolution. The data source can be selected in the Windows mixer (Microphone, Line-In or Wave). The frequency range depends on the sound card, but 20-20000Hz should be possible with all modern cards. Soundcard Oscilloscope by Christian Zeitnitz From Hobby Hound – [...]
VeeCAD for Stripboard with Auto Router
VeeCAD takes a schematic generated netlist and assists you to build a layout – but on stripboard (Veroboard). The usual design tools are provided: netlist import, component footprint definition, component positioning, wiring and connectivity check. VeeCAD for Stripboard with Auto Router Engineers and hobbyists use VeeCAD for prototypes and small quantity builds, saving hours planning [...]
555 – Timer IC Design Software – Schematica
555 – Timer IC Design Software – Schematica 555 Timer PRO provides an array of design wizards, circuit blocks and information panels that facilitate the use of the 555 timer. Component value calculations for the 555 take into account the supply voltage, timer fabrication (CMOS or Bipolar), and, where appropriate, load currents 22 timer design [...]
Zelscope Sound card oscilloscope
Zelscope Sound card oscilloscope Zelscope is a Windows software that converts your PC into a dual-trace storage oscilloscope and spectrum analyzer. It uses your computer’s sound card as analog-to-digital converter, presenting a real-time waveform or spectrum of the signal – which can be music, speech, or output from an electronic circuit. Zelscope features the interface [...]
