Any recommendations?

 

windows based

 

preferably free

 

Just been having a read about "diptrace"

 

my number 3 child has some on his laptop free from school I believe  but I dont see him that often

 

wanting to have a play on my own - he made it look so easy

Hey David,

The defacto one most people tend to use is Eagle CAD (http://www.cadsoftusa.com/). It's free for circuits up to a size of 100 x 80 mm, and isn't too hard to learn, plus I'm sure there are plenty of tutorials around for it.

Hope this helps.
