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 layouts on graph paper. VeeCAD makes prototyping practical where otherwise a PCB is required. Draw the schematic in your usual schematic editor, and after prototyping in VeeCAD use the same schematic with your PCB editor.

Most schematic editors can work with VeeCAD, provided you copy the basic VeeCAD library file and rename the outlines to match the footprints used in your schematic library.

The VeeCAD Story – by Roger Lascelles

In the 2000s I was building production jigs, calibrators and product prototypes on Veroboard. It was messy and slow, and I needed a tool. So in 2003 I started to create VeeCAD. I wrote code in stages: to draw the board, then to draw parts, then to move parts, then to save and load the parts. Because each program section was self contained, the program could be incrementally extended. When VeeCAD was very primitive, I still used it at work because it saved time.
