Test easily and draw easily
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
I am using Eagle Technology ProTeus for circuit design and educational purposes at university. The program supports both circuit design and printed circuit drawing at the same time. Thanks to its wide product library, it becomes possible to quickly design many circuits. In particular, it is possible to find new generation processors and to test and verify program codes quickly.
Pros
- Thanks to the library support of processors, especially PIC microcontrollers, it becomes possible to verify the code you have written by uploading the HEX code before it goes into real production.
- It is quite easy to find and access many educational materials to learn the program.
- From the simplest circuit to the most complex circuit, it is quite easy to design and follow.
Cons
- Path deficiencies need to be considered when transitioning the program from ISIS circuit design to ARES printed circuit drawing.
- Especially if you are working on a processor design in ISIS, the external oscillator circuit does not pass when you transfer it to ARES.
- In LCD and motor applications, the circuit sometimes does not work.
- It changes according to the years in its own versions and old files are not opened in new versions.
Likelihood to Recommend
Among circuit design and printed circuit programs, it is ahead of other programs thanks to its accessibility and ease of use. Its most important feature is that it supports both the circuit design and the printed circuit program in harmony. This feature is not available in all programs. For educational purposes, students should be allowed to use it for a period of time. Especially if you do not have a license in program design devs with processors, you cannot try programs with more than 2KB.
