Here’s how to drag components onto your schematic in Flux:

Open the Library panel (left sidebar).
Search for the part you want by name or type (e.g., “TB6612FNG”).
Click and drag the part from the library directly onto your canvas.
To reposition a component, left-click and hold on it in the canvas, then drag to the desired spot—release to drop.
For precise alignment, select multiple parts, right-click → Align → Align Evenly or press s to space them.

Here’s how to resolve the “ship under cursor” when moving parts:

Ensure you’re in the Schematic tab (not PCB).
Click once to select the component (it highlights).
Then click and hold on the highlighted part itself (not the stem) and drag.
If it still snaps strangely, check your grid settings:
- Press g to toggle grid snapping on/off.
- Adjust grid size via right-click → Grid Options.

For visual guidance, see “Positioning and routing” in the Flux docs:

To connect the TB6612FNG motor driver to a Seed ESP32-C3 for controlling a motor, we'll have to consider the necessary inputs from the ESP32-C3 to the motor driver, such as inputs to control the speed and direction of the motor, and also ensure power connections are correctly made. Let's assume that we're aiming for basic forward and reverse control of one motor using PWM for speed control.

Based on common uses, we'll connect PWM outputs from the ESP32-C3 to the TB6612FNG's PWM inputs, digital outputs to the direction control inputs, and ensure both the motor driver and the ESP32-C3 have power and are properly grounded. Since specifics about the ESP32-C3 pins aren't given, I'll make some typical assumptions for a generic GPIO layout:

PWM Control: Connect PWMA and PWMB to the ESP32-C3's PWM-capable GPIO pins. These will control the speed of motors connected to Motor A and Motor B outputs respectively.
Direction Control: Utilize AIN1, AIN2 for motor A direction control, and BIN1, BIN2 for motor B direction control. These will be connected to general-purpose output pins on the ESP32-C3.
Standby Control: The STBY pin needs to be driven high to take the driver out of standby mode; connect this to a GPIO pin set to high or directly to VCC if you don't need to control standby from the ESP32-C3.
Power Connections: Ensure VMX pins are connected to your motor power supply, VCC is connected to the ESP32-C3’s 3.3V or an appropriate logic level power supply, and all ground (GND, PGNDX) connections are tied together with the ESP32-C3’s ground.

Here's an example of how you could make the connections, using typical GPIO names for the ESP32-C3:

Connect PWMA:Pins 1 to ESP32-C3:GPIO10 (assuming GPIO10 is PWM capable).
Connect STBY:Pins 1 to ESP32-C3:GPIO15 (Set GPIO15 high or connect STBY directly to 3.3V if you don't require software control).
Connect AIN1:Pins 1 to ESP32-C3:GPIO4.
Connect AIN2:Pins 1 to ESP32-C3:GPIO5.
Connect BIN1:Pins 1 and BIN2:Pins 1 similarly to other GPIOs if controlling a second motor.
Ensure VCC:Pins 1 is connected to the 3.3V supply from the ESP32-C3, and GND is connected to the ESP32-C3's ground. Also, connect VMX to your motor supply voltage, capable of supplying the necessary current.

Do note:

Make sure to configure the GPIO pins used for PWM (GPIO10 in the example above) appropriately within your code.
GPIOn represents a generic GPIO number; replace "n" with actual GPIO numbers as per your ESP32-C3's pin assignment and application requirements.

This should give you a basic setup for controlling motors with the TB6612FNG and an ESP32-C3. Adjust pins according to your specific requirements and always consult both components' datasheets for detailed information.
