-TinyCAD is our preferred tool for creating electrical circuit diagrams and schematics. Download it from http://tinycad.sf.net/ +TinyCAD is our preferred tool for creating electrical circuit diagrams and schematics. 
  
-"AngryEE" at GitHub has written a good tutorial on getting started with TinyCAD: https://github.com/angryee/light-costume/wiki/TinyCAD. +TinyCAD is an open source "schematic capture program" for all versions of Microsoft Windows. We use TinyCAD because it is easy to learn and use, and because it is free, the diagrams we create are easily edited by others to customize for their needs.  
 + 
 +It is also very easy to create your own symbol libraries to meet your needs. TinyCAD drawings are self-contained -- you do not need the source library to display a drawing with "unique" symbols. You can also copy a symbol from a drawing and add it to your own symbol library.  
 + 
 +TinyCAD can also be used to create printed circuit boards, and can export "net list" information to applications such as [[http://www.freepcb.com|FreePCB]], which we recommend for creating printed circuit boards.

 +    * [[http://www.tinycad.net/]] 
 +    * **[[http://sourceforge.net/projects/tinycad/files/latest/download|Download]]**  
 +    * Includes an excellent off-line documentation (printable) and extensive symbol libraries, which you can easily edit.
