A great idea :)

I see that you've been using EasyEda. I myself are also doing a hardware project to get some more variation than the daily software grind. After trying out Altium and then being shocked by their recent price increase, I'm now using KiCAD.

But KiCAD doesn't have any autorouter. And the one in Altium failed for my FPGA board. I also tried ELECTRA and it failed, too.

Did you route things by hand? If not, what tool did you use? How did that work for you?

Thanks for the kind words!

I've started with EasyEDA and stuck with it as it worked okay so unfortunately I can't help with a comparison. I've tried the autorouter and it worked (=didn't fail) for earlier prototypes when the board wasn't so packed, but it couldn't do it (was hanging indefinitely) for the current layout so I did it manually. It wasn't that painful... (:

Good luck with your project! (;
