Layo1 PCB

Usually hidden from plain sight but found in most electronic devices nowadays, PCBs or printer circuit boards are basically the base upon which wires and other sockets or electronic components are assembled.

Layo1 PCB is a pragmatic and efficient piece of software that aims to provide you with a suitable environment and all the necessary tools for designing printer circuit boards.

Subsequent to its installation, you are greeted by a streamlined main window that provides you with quick access to the app's functions via a feature-packed menubar and a minimal toolbar.

If you have the necessary electronic knowledge, you can start working with the application right away, mainly since the program comes with an intuitive layout and secondly as it comes with a set of sample files.

Another advantage is the fact that Layo1 PCB comes with a hefty documentation, which if read carefully may reduce the learning time by a considerable margin. In addition to the general documentation, it also packs more technical records for electronic-related components such as silkscreens, soldering masks, soldering paste and other assemblies.

The application enables you to add an unlimited number of vectors, track widths, pad definitions and drilling diameters per PCB project. The tool allows you to add an unlimited number of track widths per network and choose the maximum and minimum width per set.

When working with such precise electronics, you are eventually bound to make a mistake or two. The app enables you to undo or redo your recent actions up to five times.

Since staring at a screen filled with electric schemas is not the most comfortable thing for your eyes, Layo1 PCB enables you to set color layers to your designs, change the background colors and even the colors for the drilling holes.

Taking all things into consideration, Layo1 PCB is a competent design tool with lots of academic and leisure applications. The app may not look the part, but it checks all the right boxes in terms of ease of use and especially in terms of features.

Also, you should not overlook the fact that it provides you with extensive documentation and sample files to make your work a little bit easier right from the start.
