After watching Dave's blog I've rebuilt my lab and started to create schematics. I've tried Altium Circuit Maker and it's A-mazing and has picked up some errors I would have missed.
I'm doing one-off protypes for control subsystems based on PICs. I think PCBs and Ferric Chloride fun is overkill for this so I want to use Veroboard or Tripad so that I can get something built quickly and cheaply.
In theory VeeCad can do this but its netlist import doesn't seem good enough.
What's the best way to move from Schematic to Veroboard or Tripad? Circuit Maker has convinced me that a decent schematic tool is the starting point.
I've worked through half a dozen packages this weekend. You'd think that using Molex connectors with Pics would be trivial to design/draw, Circuit Maker drew me an adequate PCB but I know how long it takes to cut, etch, drill etc. so I want to use stripboard/tripad etc. and the netlist imports struggle with molex!
After 20 years Stripboard Magic is not looking too bad :-(
Any ideas?
