This is the Windows app named Spider PCB whose latest release can be downloaded as SpiderPCB.zip. It can be run online in the free hosting provider OnWorks for workstations.
Download and run online this app named Spider PCB with OnWorks for free.
Follow these instructions in order to run this app:
- 1. Downloaded this application in your PC.
- 2. Enter in our file manager https://www.onworks.net/myfiles.php?username=XXXXX with the username that you want.
- 3. Upload this application in such filemanager.
- 4. Start any OS OnWorks online emulator from this website, but better Windows online emulator.
- 5. From the OnWorks Windows OS you have just started, goto our file manager https://www.onworks.net/myfiles.php?username=XXXXX with the username that you want.
- 6. Download the application and install it.
- 7. Download Wine from your Linux distributions software repositories. Once installed, you can then double-click the app to run them with Wine. You can also try PlayOnLinux, a fancy interface over Wine that will help you install popular Windows programs and games.
Wine is a way to run Windows software on Linux, but with no Windows required. Wine is an open-source Windows compatibility layer that can run Windows programs directly on any Linux desktop. Essentially, Wine is trying to re-implement enough of Windows from scratch so that it can run all those Windows applications without actually needing Windows.

Spider PCB
DESCRIPTION
This project is in a pre-alpha stage and is intended to give a rough idea about the final program. It does not do much more than draw pretty pictures.
Hierarchical circuit layout is commonplace amongst IC designers, but Spider PCB brings hierarchical layout to the PCB industry. Not only is the schematic hierarchical, but also the layout.
Ever wanted to lay out a 16-band equaliser, with 5 sound channels? Lots of copying and pasting on the PCB-side. Just imagine if you could lay out one channel of the equaliser, then go up one hierarchical level and lay out 1 sound channel, using your single-band equaliser 16 times, with the only difference being the component values. You can then go up one hierarchical level more to lay out the 5 sound channels, add some headers and a power supply circuit, and another to panellise the PCB's for production. No copying and pasting. No trouble editing a mistake later. This is the idea behind Spider PCB.
