in the meantime, anyone who is interested in using it should go ahead and install it, using one of the methods i described in my previous message.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>

Oh no! If something makes EAGLE look easy, it must be horrible! :p<br>
<br>
I actually don't think they're that different. KiCAD might be slightly more confusing and buggy than EAGLE, but not by much. I just haven't done quite as<br>
much with it.<br>
<br>
Actually, a group KiCAD workshop might be a cool thing to have at a Sudo hardware night.<br>

Eagle is closed-source payware. They let you design small boards for free, but if your design grows outside of the part count or space<br>
limit, you have to pay to make larger designs. It is a capitalistic enterprise.<br>
<br>
KiCAD is a FOSS project written by people who do it for the love, and did i mention that all the source code (and software) is free?<br>
<br>
I know that a lot of people are into EAGLE because it's "easy" and popular, but I think we should support Free & Libre software when we<br>
can... and we can, because KiCAD totally works.<br>
<br>
I made these boards with KiCAD recently:<br>

I attended an Eagle workshop last year and created a few board designs. Not sure how much I remember but I wouldn't mind playing<br>
with it again.<br>

Hi.<br>
I'm trying to write up an EAGLE board layout and failing miserably. I'm using the freeware EAGLE suite for the mac. Dunno if<br>
that's making my life harder<br>
than usual or not, but does anyone have recommendations for good EAGLE tools and/or willing to help me figure out how to work<br>
this thing?<br>
<br>
