This is a collection of similar items I needed for for Project Research. Topics range from KiCad schematics and PCB development, to PSPice and Circuit Development, and finally for VLSI design there is EDA Playground and LTSpice.
- Download OrCad Capture CIS Lite 17.2 Here or Here.
- Note that this is the license-free (Lite) version & is posted in the public domain. It does not require a license key or activation. Please use responsibly.
- This version of OrCad PSpice was used exclusively for all electronics class simulations.
- All of the PSpice projects are my own work.
- Download EasyEDA
- The Free Version is sufficient for entry-level projects.
- SparkFun EasyEDA Tutorial for PCB design.
- Easy EDA free Standard Version allows local storage of project files.
- This EDA is a complete concept-to-PCB solution for no cost.
Some useful KiCad Tutorials:
