Treat Flux like your intern. Tell it what you'd like to build and it'll get to work. You can also ask it questions, brainstorm ideas, and teach it your preferences. Learn More
Sign Up & Log In: To use Flux for designing electronic circuits, first, you need to create an account on their website, if you don't have one yet.
Create or Open a Project: Now you can create a new project using the "New Project" button, or you can open an existing project from your dashboard.
Design a Schematic: Inside a project, you can create a new schematic using the "New Schematic" button. Now, you can add components to your schematic. You do this by dragging components from the component library onto the schematic drawing area.
Connect Components: Use wires to connect these components together in the schematic editor. You can do this by clicking and dragging from one component pin to another.
Design a PCB Layout: Once your schematic design is complete, you can move on to design the PCB Layout. This involves placing components on the physical board and routing traces between them.
Review and Export: Once everything is done, you should review your design for any errors using Flux's design rule check (DRC). Then, you can export the design to various formats like Gerber, PDF, etc for fabrication.
Flux has a rich set of features to help in designing both schematics and PCBs. You can learn about these features from their official documentation, YouTube tutorials, and by participating in the community discussions on their Slack channel. If you encounter any problem, you can report it using their issue-tracking tool or directly contact them through the "Contact us" section on their homepage[1].
Also, if you are new to PCB design, I highly recommend checking out the getting started section and the reference section for concise explanations of Flux's features and settings[2].
