For those interested in pcb design and you&#x27;re not tied to FOSS I&#x27;d definitely recommend trying upverter.com.  It&#x27;s made loads of progress in the last few years and is probably the best &#x2F; easiest to use layout software for beginners that I&#x27;ve come across.<p>I&#x27;ve worked with eagle, altium, and briefly KiCad but I can never get over the tediousness of using KiCad. I recently checked out upverter and after watching their tutorial was able to design an LCD adapter board from start to finish in ~2 hours.<p>Not trying to knock too hard on KiCad because it&#x27;s great that we have an FOSS option, but if you&#x27;re just into tinkering, upverter definitely has an easier learning curve and is pretty powerful.  I always find that I want to spend my tinkering time actually getting my project designed instead of fighting with tooling.
