Based on the project description, it looks like the basic connections for the decoupling capacitors and power supply pins are not fully described. Here are some points that need attention:
  1. Power Supply Connections for STM32F103C8T6:
    • Ensure that all the power supply pins (VDD) and ground pins (VSS) are adequately connected.
    • Normally, decoupling capacitors are used for each VDD pin, placed as close to the pin as possible.
  2. Boot Configuration:
    • The BOOT0 pin should have a pull-down resistor if not used, as it affects the boot mode of the microcontroller.
  3. Decoupling Capacitors:
    • The decoupling capacitors (like C1C1, C2C2, C3C3, and C4C4) should be connected directly to the VDD and VSS pins of the STM32F103C8T6.
To proceed, let’s ensure the following connections:
Power Pins for STM32:
  1. VDD and GND Connections for STM32:
    • Connect U1:VDDU1:VDD pins to 3.3V.
    • Connect U1:VSSU1:VSS pins to GND.
Decoupling Capacitor Connections:
  1. Decoupling Capacitors:
    • Connect C1:1C1:1 to 3.3V.
    • Connect C1:2C1:2 to GND.
    • Connect C2:1C2:1 to 3.3V.
    • Connect C2:2C2:2 to GND.
    • Connect C3:1C3:1 to 3.3V.
    • Connect C3:2C3:2 to GND.
    • Connect C4:1C4:1 to 3.3V.
    • Connect C4:2C4:2 to GND.
Boot Configuration:
  1. BOOT0 Pin:
    • Connect U1:BOOT0U1:BOOT0 to GND through a pull-down resistor.
Correct these issues and ensure the connections are properly made in the schematic. If any other specific functionality or connection is needed in your project, please let me know!

To align a net with the pin of your MCU, you need to ensure the connection between the net and the specific pin is correctly placed on the schematic and properly routed on the PCB layout.
Here are the steps to align the net with the pin of your MCU:
In the Schematic
  1. Identify the Net and Pin:
    • Note which net you want to connect to your MCU's pin. In your case, identify both the net and the pin.
  2. Draw the connection:
    • Use the line tool to draw a connection from the net to the pin on your MCU. You can click on the end of the net and drag it to the pin of your MCU to complete the connection.
  3. Naming the Net:
    • Ensure the net is named appropriately so that it reflects its function. If this net has not been named, label it correctly.
In the PCB Layout
  1. Component Placement:
    • Place the MCU STM32F103C8T6 and all relevant components close to their corresponding connections.
  2. Routing the Net:
    • Use the routing tool to create traces from the net to the MCU pin. Ensure that the trace width and spacing meet your design rules.
  3. Alignment:
    • Ensure that the traces and vias (if needed) are properly aligned and do not cause any shorts or clearance issues. Utilize alignment tools to make sure the routing is straight and properly aligned.
Example Connection Format
Assuming you want to connect the 3v3 power net to the VDD pin of the STM32F103C8T6:
  • Schematic:
    • Connect 3v3:P1 to STM32F103C8T6:VDD.
  • PCB Layout:
    • Route a trace from the 3v3 net to the VDD pin of the STM32F103C8T6.
Ensuring Correct Alignment
  • Snap to Grid:
    • Make sure that both the net endpoint and the MCU pin are aligned to the grid for precise connections.
  • Use Alignment Tools:
    • Tools such as alignment guides can help in visualizing and ensuring proper alignment between the net and the pin.
Remember, after making connections, it's always good to run a design rule check (DRC) to ensure there are no errors in your design. If you have a specific net and pin that you're having trouble aligning, please let me know, and I can provide more tailored advice!

Copying and pasting symbols in Flux can be done with a few easy steps:
  1. Select the Symbol:
    • Click on the symbol you want to copy.
  2. Copy the Symbol:
    • Right-click on the selected symbol and choose "Copy" from the context menu.
    • Alternatively, use the shortcut Ctrl + C (Windows) or Cmd + C (Mac).
  3. Paste the Symbol:
    • Right-click on the canvas where you want to place the copied symbol and choose "Paste" from the context menu.
    • Alternatively, use the shortcut Ctrl + V (Windows) or Cmd + V (Mac).

    Flight Controller

    Flight Controller thumbnail
    This is a custom flight controller based around a STM32F103C8T6. It contains a BMP280 to measure the altitude of a drone, an ICM-42688-P that contains an accelerometer and gyroscope for motion control. The input voltage should be 12V and is set up to work with a LiPo battery.
