Small digital design using a Xilinx picoblaze softcore processor, and I`m finding that producing schematics of acceptable quality to be frustrating and time consuming. I`ve attempted to shoehorn previously drawn schematics (From LTSpice, or Eagle) into documentation, but the results look fuzzy or terrible. I`ve been using LibreOff

ice Draw, with subpar results - because the drawings do not contain any information about connections, having to propagate a small change through all items is really frustrating. For example, if I want to add a port onto a part, but that part appears multiple times in my schematic, I have to add them to every instance by hand. Similarly, when deciding the format of my wires and bus lines, perhaps I`d like the wires to `jump` when not connected to another line What if I`d like to add a bubble to indicate connections instead These items must all be added by hand, which is ridiculous. I`m sure something like this could be done with LaTeX, but I`d like the feedback of being able to look at my drawing as it is being built, and I need to convince other people who are working on this project to use similar tools, and not many people are willing to undergo the learning curve of LaTeX just for this purpose. I`ve tried Inkscape and Dia and found them to be lacking, I`ve used LTSpice, but that`s for SPICE and not digital schematics, and the diagrams are not very appealing anyway - a similar argument for EAGLE schematics. Is there a better way, something that I`m missing or not considering I`ve just begun examining Electric VLSI - it seems to be a much better fit, but still rough around the edges.
This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of....
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
