Electrical diagram software ¦¦ Open Source?

[JohnerH]

Hi All,

So I'm going to start a journey in electrically dismantling and troubleshooting a Record Power Planer Thicknesser - RSPT260,

With that in mind, I thought if I'm going to analyse it, I might as well record the circuitry et al (and later share it),

So the question here is, what open source software would you guys recommended?

I know this is wood working, but though I'd give a shot and ask

Thank you in advance...

You could try draw.io. here . I don't use it for what you are suggesting but it is free and has plenty of electrical / electronic objects.

Its already in the manual might save you some time:

Hi,

I saw that, but I think that's the general one, after a quick look see it looks more complex.

Anyhu, when I sit down and go through it I'll compare, hopefully they'll be the same, which indeed will save me work.

Visio market an electrical circuit diagram for their product, usually free for first use.

You just gave me an idea,

I know it's not free, but I do have access to Visio

Thank you for the steer...

You are likely to find it quicker and easier to hand-draw the diagram.
Free software that is easy to use includes Fritzing, which may also be most appropriate to you use. More complex software includes the geda suite of tools, free (but only in cost) are the basic versions of DesignSpark and Eagle.
Try Dia as a free alternative to Visio.
