Adding USB Socket to Board
1:09
Planning the procedure.
I’ll start the plan to add the bottom-side, power-only USB‑A.
- Add USB1015-GF-L-A as J1.
- Wire J1: Pin1 VBUS -> 5V; Pin4 + shield -> GND; D+/D- left NC.
- Sync to PCB and place at the bottom edge.
If the Start button remains disabled, please refresh the page. If it still won’t enable, contact Flux Support: https://docs.flux.ai/Introduction/getting-support
Plan
Goal
- Add a power-only, bottom-side USB Type-A output connector (GCT USB1015-GF-L-A) to the project for providing a 5V output, with VBUS (Pin 1) connected to the 5V net and Pin 4 (and shield tabs) connected to the GND net. The data pins (D+ and D-) will remain unconnected.
- Add the USB Type-A connector GCT USB1015-GF-L-A as component J1 in the schematic.
- Assign the correct right-angle, through-hole footprint.
- Establish net connections on the schematic:
- Connect J1 Pin 1 (VBUS) to the 5V net.
- Connect J1 Pin 4 along with the shield tabs to the GND net.
- Leave the D+ and D- pins unconnected.
- Sync the updated schematic to the PCB layout.
- Place the USB connector at the board's bottom edge as specified, ensuring bottom-side placement.
- The USB1015 is added to the schematic as J1 with correct pin connections: Pin 1 on 5V and Pin 4 (and shield tabs) on GND.
- The data pins remain unconnected.
- The component is synchronized to the PCB and correctly positioned at the board bottom edge.
- No other parts or nets are modified in the process.

Evaluating tool usage.
Clarifying action limitations.
Accessing knowledge base.
Reading docs about Why is the Copilot plan Start button disabled and how do I enable it? Explain project edit permissions, owner/editor/viewer roles, and what to do if a project is read-only or published as a part. Include how to fork/duplicate a project to gain edit access and how to request edit access from the owner..
Querying knowledge base.
Responding to permission inquiries.
It likely is a permissions issue.
This is the most relevant entry I found related to the topic. Quoting the docs:
“Managing Project Access
For Individual Projects
To manage access to an individual project:
- Click the share button in the toolbar
- Configure anonymous access (public/private)
- Add specific users and assign permission levels
- Review current access in the sharing panel
Learn more about sharing”
If you don’t have Edit permission, ask the owner to grant it.
