Software used in the Electronics Program
Diptrace Program – from the company website. Download the free version. I have created 3 custom libraries that go with the program that make it a lot easier. These 3 files have been compressed in the following zip file Diptrace – parts which you can download and install. As I create components needed in my class I update these files. The lasted time updated was Sept 16, 2016. Here is a tutorial on using Diptrace provided by the company and my own tutorials are below;
