[OpenTRV-dev] Eagle CAD alternatives

[Deniz Erbilgin]

Thanks guys.

Does anyone have any experience of other EDAs?
We have some experience both Eagle and Kicad but would like some more
options worth considering.
Also, if anyone has used these packages in a commercial setting it would be
interesting to hear your thoughts.
