Software for developing and assembling circuit boards?
Can anyone recommend a good, free software that I can use to design and assemble circuit boards for my hobby, and to virtually test the circuits before building them myself.

According to Bild, Germany "imports" nuclear power from other countries. How do they do it? In batteries? In other words, how is it transported? Lg
Today, I touched the plastic casing of my PC and got an electric shock. How is that possible? There was no visible contact with any conductive components of the PC, and the PC wasn't plugged in. As far as I know, plastic doesn't conduct electricity. So what could have caused it?
Hello. In which areas does it not make sense to operate the sensor system or what limitations would otherwise prevent this from happening? My answer would be that the resistance has a very high sensitivity at low temperatures, and this sensitivity decreases with increasing temperature. Therefore, I would say that the sensor system is not…
I need exactly this cable, at least 3m long, WITHOUT kinks. Where can I find one? If you google it, you'll find everything but the right one… The cable is from a watch. Input from the clock: 5V/1A
Hello, how would you calculate this task? An experimental solar vehicle consists of 288 solar cells with an edge length of 100 mm x 100 mm each, which are grouped in modules of nine cells each Each module delivers a maximum power of 18 W. a. Calculate the total power and the efficiency efficiency at…
Hello everyone I'm having a problem where my projector gets quite loud in 3D mode, which somewhat disrupts the movie experience. In normal cinema mode, it's significantly quieter. Is there anything I can do about it? Why does it get so loud in 3D? What options do I have to make the projector quieter again?…
KiCAD for the layout of the circuit boards. It is completely free and also has some advanced features.
I learned layouts within 2 days. A tutorial series which I can highly recommend is this here: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3bNyZYHcRSUhUXUt51W6nKvx2ORvUQB&si=mNi-_PWAgznUAAcY (at least I think it was this:D)
You don’t have to look at the series. In the beginning you learn the basics like everything goes/who you have to pay attention and how to use the program. After that is simply learning by doing and googlen if you don’t have to keep coming/who you have to pay attention. It’s good if you have something else you can try.
It is also important that you find out what they can produce on your PCB manufacturer’s website. Usually there is a page on each of these websites. Then set this in KiCAD. It is also a part of the tutorial. Are initially minimal distances, hole size, etc.
KiCAD is a good software but I also like to use Fritzing for my IoT projects. Fritzing is a software designed specifically for IoT solutions and the work with developer boards. It can also be platinum designs and you can order them directly via the software.
KiCAD is recommended here, which is also really a great program.
I created a circuit board (with an Autorouter that can be picked up in addition) and then ordered a circuit board in China (5 identical circuit boards have approx. 35€ cost incl. freight), and this is now running with me as a circuit.
Only: Simulation of circuits cannot be the program.
What kind of circuit boards? Which components?
Fritzing is very good for hole grids with THT fitting.
For the simulation, I would use a SPICE program. Unfortunately, I don’t know any free software.
You can also use KiCAD if you are interested in PCB design.
Look at a KiCad:

Diptrace is my favorite
Diptrace is not free software
Hm, OK.
