Flux is a browser-based electronics CAD program for designing electrical schematics and laying out PCBs. It has many features and workflows that you can use to build your design. Here's a brief step-by-step guide to get started:
  1. Create an account: Sign up to use Flux. You can get started with one of the free plans for beginners.
  2. Start a new project: Once you have an account, start a new project on the Flux dashboard.
  3. Add your components: You can add components to your schematic by dragging them from the library onto the canvas.
  4. Connect components: Use wires or traces to connect components together based on your circuit design requirements. You have to specify which pins are connected for every connection.
  5. Check the design: Use the design rule check (DRC) features to make sure your circuit diagram and the PCB layout conform to design guidelines.
  6. Export your design: Once your design is complete, you can export it in a variety of formats for manufacturing or further analysis.
  7. Avoid bugs and seek support if needed: If you encounter any bugs or issues while designing, you can report them in Flux's issue-tracking tool.
I highly recommend checking out Flux's YouTube channel for tutorials and additional help[1]. For instant support, you could use the Slack community to ask questions to the Flux team and meet other users[2].
