Fritzing!

While I’ve been experimenting with circuits and ardunio stuff recently I’ve been looking for a simple solution for converting a schematic to a breadboard/stripboard design, I’ve explored a few options like stripboard magic and eagle and non seem to be ideal however today I came across a new project via twitter.

“Fritzing is an open-source initiative to support designers, artists, researchers and hobbyists to take the step from physical prototyping to actual product”

Available here

It allows the user to create circuits in a simple drag and drop environment on a 3D breadboard complete with arduino template, it can then convert this design into a schematic or etchable pcb and vice versa. It is still very much in development but from my initial playing looks like a very promising project.
