What programme do you recomend?

I am doing a task and I have to draw schematic. What programme can I use?

Diptrace seems to be rather popular.

I use designspark if I have to do a large schematic and it's on the free downloads page at picaxe.com.

Design Spark is what we would currently recommend for using PICAXE Circuit Creator and is also suitable for other PCB and other circuit designs, support for 2D PCB, Eagle, DipTrace and perhaps others will come later -

Thanks!

Is in this version of the DesignkSpark the PICAXE 18M2? I haven't found it.

My copy didn't have it either so I added a new component for it. You can do the same or I can upload the component tomorrow.

Make sure you also separately download the PICAXE create library. This has lots of components including the M2s

The dual 7-segment display schematic has two seperate displays right next to each other and whilst it's possible to provide connections to every pin, it is a very tight squeeze and confusion arises when the lines come in contact with the crosses that mark the end of each line.

Secondly, why is the touch sensor represented by 'IC' like an integrated circuit?

Version 3 has come out today!

The splash screen now fades out!
