#Tools

We are using Git for version control, with a free repository hosted at github. In terms of microcontrollers, Emmanuel has chosen the PIC for use on the Harvestor, and Alex has chosen the AVR for use on the Lamp Contoller. Schematic entry and PCB's can be done using Cadsoft's EAGLE. What tools are good for entering general diagrams?
