I have found some circuits online that I want to try and create a more professional looking PCB for.
My question, what PCB Schematic builder do people use, and what program has proven to be the easiest when designing these circuits?
I used the Digikey online "Scheme It" tool and created the circuit diagram, but importing that into a program is proving to be quite difficult (or maybe I'm just a noob). I have tried KiCad but that seems to be a bit too in-depth for simple circuits that only require Caps and Resistors mainly. I haven't dove into Altium all that much as it too seems a bit complex to use.
Any advice is welcome as I know barely anything on designing PCB circuits and how to get all the necessary layers/gerber files ready for a PCB manufacturer to produce.
