thinking about doing a Reform 2 beta program again (like with V1) with 10-20 early access devices, priced around 800-900 EUR.

@mntmn I'm curious to learn what programs you use to go from the initial concept to the final PCB? As in, the PCB design software. Whatever gets you to the files you send of for PCB production.I use Altium Designer 14 at work, but it's difficult to use and very awkward.

@mntmn I might bring this up at work then. I seem to spend half to my time fighting with the tool instead of actually getting on with work! Thanks for your help :)

@mntmn @puffinus_puffinus yeah, kicad has come a long way. As an semi-advanced hobbyist, I switched to it from eagle. Sure it takes some getting used to, but with each release Kicad is getting noticeably better..
