This metapackage will install Debian packages useful for the development of printed circuit boards.

Description

For a better overview of the project's availability as a Debian package, each head row has a color code according to this scheme:

If you discover a project which looks like a good candidate for Debian Electronics to you, or if you have prepared an unofficial Debian package, please do not hesitate to send a description of that project to the Debian Electronics mailing list

Fritzing je open source projekt, ktorý pomáha previesť prototypu na hotový produkt. Je zameraný na používateľov, ktorí chcú vyrábať alebo dokumentovať obvody a experimenty. Začnete postavením fyzického prototypu a potom ho vybudujete v grafickom editore vo Fritzing. Odtiaľ môžete vytvoriť schému, výtvarné prvky na doske tlačených spojov (PCB) a produkčné súbory dosky tlačených spojov.

Kicad je sada programov na tvorbu dosiek plošných spojov. Obsahuje editor schém, nástroj na rozloženie tlačeného spoja, podporné nástroje a 3D prehliadač na zobrazenie dokončeného a plne osadeného plošného spoja.

Kicad pozostáva z piatich hlavných komponentov:

  • kicad - správca projektov
  • eeschema - editor schém
  • pcbnew - editor plošných spojov
  • gerbview - prehliadač GERBER
  • cvpcb - výber puzdier súčiastok

Knižnice:

  • eeschema aj pcbnew majú správcov knižnice a editory svojich komponentov a puzdier
  • môžete jednoducho vytvárať, upravovať, mazať a vymieňať položky knižnice
  • súbory dokumentácie možno pridružiť s komponentmi, puzdrami a kľúčovými slovami, čo umožňuje rýchle hľadanie podľa funkcie
  • sú dostupné veľmi veľké knižnice pre schematické značky a puzdrá súčiastok
  • väčšina komponentov má zodpovedajúce 3D modely

Visolate reads the gerber files describing printed circuit boards and converts them into the G-code (RS-274 code) needed to engrave the layout into a board using a CNC machine. Precise renditions of the original layout can be created as well as voronoi fillings of the original layout, shortening the toolpath.
