How Do You Make An Electrical Schematic?
Circuits are formed from electrical components connected to each other with conductors such as wires and solder. Electrical schematics are drawings that represent circuits. Commercial software programs create electrical schematics by storing the symbols used to represent components, along with the various connectors, in their menus and palettes. These programs may be very expensive, so freeware or shareware can be used as alternatives. Another option is to create the schematics with a drawing program. Download open source programs that can create electrical schematics. Many excellent ones may be found for Linux operating systems but also for Windows and Macintosh. An example is XCircuit. If you are unable to find open source programs, proceed to steps two to four for alternatives. Optionally, proceed directly to step one of section two, in order to learn which drawing programs you can use to make electrical components and schematics from scratch. Purchase shareware. These programs very
