I would recommend getting Inkscape and the 30 day free trial of Illustrator and testing them out before you decide to go for the purchase of Illustrator. The other option is to use Inkscape, which is free.įrom what I've experienced there are some compatibility issues between the two, but other than that people find one better than the other based on personal preference. If you'd like to try it for free you can always download the 30 day free trial.Ģ. I personally use Adobe Illustrator (Digilent has no affiliation with Adobe). These images need to be exported into SVG format.ġ. In order to make your parts, you need to make the images for all three views: breadboard, schematic, and PCB. The first piece of software you will need, is of course, Fritzing, which is free.
