TinyCAD Schematic Editor
TinyCAD is our preferred tool for creating electrical circuit diagrams and schematics. Download it from http://tinycad.sf.net/
“AngryEE” at GitHub has written a good tutorial on getting started with TinyCAD: https://github.com/angryee/light-costume/wiki/TinyCAD.
Object Libraries
Here are the object libraries that we use with TinyCAD. You can load them into your own copy of TinyCAD and use or edit them, but you don't need to download them if you are only using the drawings from this site – each TinyCAD drawing is “portable” and includes all of the object data; it does not depend on an external library.

Creating Bill of Materials with TinyCAD
Creating a useful bill of materials in a repeatable process for many drawings requires a bit of discipline and planning.
Creating Bill of Materials with TinyCAD is the process we follow.
