as well as a start button to prevent unintended starts.

I did it without drawing schematics just by keeping it in my head.

In any case, I still remember how I did my phase converter 4 years
ago, but I do not want to rely on my memory.

So. Is there some easy to use Linux software that is available under
ubuntu, that I could use to draw electrical schematics.

thanks
What is the matter with a pencil and paper?????


Nothing wrong.

Personally, I like to keep everything in the computer, that way I do
not lose it.


There are many tools available free from PC board manufacturers,
possibly even some linux versions, if not then run under an emulator
perhaps?


I found Geda, which I liked enough because I could actually finish my
drawing. I did not find some symbols that I needed, like that of mag
starter, but I substituted something else.

The drawing, however lame, is he
