• Library: Contains components that you can drag and drop onto your canvas.
• Canvas: The workspace where you'll build your schematics and PCB layouts.
• Toolbars: Options for placing components, routing, simulations, etc.

• Search: Use the search bar in the library to find the components you need.
• Drag and Drop: Simply drag components from the library onto the canvas.

• Wires and Traces: Click on the pin of a component and drag to another pin to create a connection.
• For example:
  • Connect R1:1 to C1:1.
  • Connect U1:VCC to P1:VCC, R2:2, and U2:VCC.

• You can simulate your design within Flux to see how it performs. This is great for testing before actually building the hardware.

• Positioning: Arrange your components neatly to make the schematic easy to read.
• Routing: Use the routing tools to connect components with traces if you're planning a PCB.

• If you run into any issues, there are several ways to get help:
  • Flux Documentation: Access detailed guides and FAQs.
  • Slack Community: Ask questions and interact with other engineers and the Flux team.
  • Video Tutorials: Explore video tutorials and crash courses on YouTube or Flux’s website.

• If you need to let Flux Copilot make direct modifications to your schematic, you can utilize the "Take Action" button whenever Copilot suggests specific connections for your project.
