ePlan vs Protoboard Designer

90+ SYMBOLS, DRAG AND DROP US symbols with NEC terms, or international IEC 60617 symbols. Switch at any time. • Power, switches, lighting: receptacles, switches, dimmers, ceiling, recessed and emergency lights. • Fire and security: smoke, heat and CO detectors, pull stations, horns, motion sensors, cameras. • Data, heating, appliances: data and TV outlets, Wi-Fi, heaters, ovens, washers, dryers. • Energy and panels: EV chargers, solar, safety switches, meters, and a custom symbol you name yourself. • Drag one out of the palette and it lands under your finger. Rotate in 90° steps, add a label, circuit and notes, resize one symbol or all. CREATE OR IMPORT A PLAN • Import a PDF, or a photo from your library or from Files. • Or, scan several pages with your camera and each one becomes its own plan. • Or, scan real-life rooms in 3D with your iPhone Pro or iPad Pro, and get the floor plan drawn for you instantly. • No plan? Draw walls, doors and windows yourself from a blank template. RUN THE CIRCUITS • Tap a symbol, tap another, and a smooth curved run joins them. • Runs stay attached: move an outlet and the wire moves with it. • Pick the circuit as you draw. Every circuit gets its own color, and it is the same color in the editor, in test and on the PDF. • Eraser mode, delete a symbol and its runs go with it, and undo/redo while you work. CHECK YOUR WORK • Check: traces the wiring out from every panel and flags anything unpowered or left dangling. • Simulate: tap switches on and off and see which lights come on. • Loads: per-circuit VA and amps (at 120/240 V with US symbols) against the breaker rating you set. These are indicative aids for catching mistakes on a drawing. They are not certified design or verification calculations, and they do not replace inspection, testing, certification or the electrical code that applies to your job. LEGEND AND PDF • A legend of every symbol type and circuit used is built for you and added to every export. • Export a PDF in the plan's shape, or on US Letter or A4, or save it as an image. BUILT FOR THE JOB SITE • Lose signal mid-job and keep working. Changes save on the device and sync to your account when you are back in coverage. • iPhone: turn it sideways and the plan fills the screen, tools on side rails. • iPad: a symbol panel beside the plan. SHARE WITH THE CREW • Invite a teammate with an 8-character code and they can open and edit the project's plans on their own iPhone or iPad. WHO IT'S FOR Independent electricians and crews doing residential and commercial work: rewires, rough-in, additions, panel changes, build-outs. Anyone who has to hand a customer, a builder or a general contractor a drawing showing where the outlets, switches and lights actually went.

Go from circuit idea to production-ready Gerber file in minutes. No netlist. No learning curve. Just open the app and start building. Protoboard Designer is a WYSIWYG PCB layout editor for makers, hobbyists, students, and anyone who finds KiCad or Altium overwhelming. Place components, route copper traces, and export your board — on your phone, tablet, or directly in your browser at protoboarddesigner.com. Available on iOS and Web — your projects sync seamlessly across all your devices. KEY FEATURES • WYSIWYG PCB Layout — what you place on screen is exactly what gets manufactured. No surprises at the fab house. • Gerber & PDF Export — send production-ready Gerber files directly to any PCB fab, or export a PDF to etch your own board at home. • KiCad Footprint Import — use the built-in component library, import KiCad footprints, or add any public GitHub repository as a footprint source. • Cloud Project Sync — your boards are automatically backed up and synced across iOS and Web. Start on your phone, finish in the browser — or vice versa. • No Netlist Required — skip the schematic step entirely and jump straight to layout. PERFECT FOR • Makers and hobbyists designing perfboard, stripboard, or custom PCB layouts • Students learning electronics and circuit board design • Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and ESP32 tinkerers moving beyond breadboards • Anyone wanting to go from idea to fabrication without weeks of learning software WHY NOT KICAD OR ALTIUM? Traditional EDA tools are powerful — but they're designed for professional engineers managing complex multi-layer boards. They take weeks to learn and are desktop-only. Protoboard Designer strips away everything you don't need for hobby and prototype work, so you can focus on building, not learning software.
