Is there an electronic circuit design CAD package available for Centos 5.5 please?

I use Eagle CAD on my Mac and I know that there is a linux version. I'm pretty sure that we also use this on out student RHEL5 labs. They have a free version that is really pretty comprehensive.

Thanks for that Pete. I have installed the Freeware version of EAGLE, and it looks really good.

Will check out the others as well.

Kind Regards,

Keith Roberts

I haven't used it yet, so I don't really know what it's like.

I've been using xcircuit for years, and found it to be fast, fairly easy to learn, and quite useful. Not so great if what you're trying to do is capture to perform SPICE simulations, but a really great 2D drawing tool.

There are additional parts libraries for it available online, and it's not hard to create your own, either. Output/working files are Postscript, so they're easily opened and converted in GIMP if needed.

Thaks to everyone that has replied to my thread.

I just need a CAD program to design simple audio circuits, like a passive mixer.

check out gEDA in EPEL - www.gpleda.org/index.html

Here's an interesting circuit:

http://www.epanorama.net/circuits/linemixer.html

It would be nice if the CAD program can give me some idea of the gain achieved, as I change various components. I would like to print out the circuit diagram as well. Another plus would be the option to convert a working standard circuit diagram layout, into the equivalent layout for using strip board.

I'll check out the suggest CAD packaages and get back to the list with my findings.

Kind Regards,

Keith Roberts

have you seen this? http://spins.fedoraproject.org/fel/

Thanks for reminding me about FEL!

I might install individual packages from that, like electric and test them out.

Kind Regards,

Keith
