What design software was used to create this diagram?

does anybody know what software was used to create these circuit diagrams?

second question,  is this the best free/low cost design software for a software dummy (me) to do remedial hardware design / layouts?   

thanks in advance..

I believe those diagrams are drawn, but you can make similar pictures with Fritzing http://fritzing.org/home/

For more professional circuits you can use DipTrace, Eagle, KiCad etc.

Could be a software - LochMaster - by a German company named Abacom, it looks pretty close, have a look: http://www.abacom-online.de/uk/html/lochmaster.html

Of course there are, as TheAmmoniacal wrote, other and better schematic drawing software to choose, but still it is an option if you work with small, quick built circuits.

Does indeed look very much like LochMaster. Great

Found it.

Its called diy layout.

thanks to all!

I hate drawings like that, they're so much harder to read than a regular schematic. It's probably easier for a 10 year old to breadboard a circuit that way but after the first or second project one really ought to learn to read a schematic.
