Reading docs for: "How to print circuit for transfer to panel"
I wasn’t able to find any Flux documentation on printing a layout for toner-transfer or panel transfer directly. It looks like Flux doesn’t include a built-in “print for transfer” feature.
You might consider exporting your copper layers as Gerber files (via the Export menu → Gerber), opening them in a Gerber viewer, mirroring the layer, and printing from there.
For more on Flux’s capabilities or to request this feature, you can check:
- Flux Documentation: https://docs.flux.ai/Introduction/the-flux-method

how to make the entire circuit bigger on my screen?
can I change the background from black to white?

If you want to enlarge your circuit design on the Flux.ai UI, you can use the Zoom In or Zoom Out buttons on the top of the screen. Alternatively, you can use the scroll wheel on your mouse to zoom in or out.
Another way is by using the "Fit to screen" or "Fit all in view" feature. This option will adjust the zoom and pan automatically so that your entire circuit fits on the screen.
Remember that enlarging the circuit does not change the actual dimensions/sizes of the components, it's just a visual aid to help you work more effectively.
If none of these solutions work for you, please provide more details, and I'll be glad to give additional assistance.

can I change the background from black to white?
1y
Unfortunately, as of the world knowledge cut-off in September 2023, Flux.ai does not support changing the background color of the design area. The design background remains in a dark theme to provide contrast with the component and connection colors which aid in readability of the design.
If you have any issues, or if you feel a lighter background would be beneficial to you, I recommend reaching out to Flux support or looking in the user settings for any updates on this feature delivered after the knowledge cutoff. It's always possible updates have been added after my training data was collected.

How to you create vias for off board souces?
2y
In the context of Flux's electronic CAD software, a via allows electrical connection between different layers of a PCB through a small hole drilled in the board and filled or plated with metal, usually copper. However, if you're looking to connect off-board sources like sensors, buttons, LEDs, etc., you would typically use header connectors or terminal blocks depending on the nature and the number of the connections required.
To create connections for off-board components, follow these steps:
-
Add Header/Terminal block connectors: Depending on the requirement, add a connector to your schematic. This could be single or multiple pin headers, screw terminal blocks etc. These components can be found in Flux's standard library.
-
Wire up the connectors: Now connect the desired circuit elements (like resistors, capacitors, ICs pin) to the respective pins of the connector using wires.
-
Transfer to PCB: After the wiring, transfer your schematic to a PCB layout.
-
Place the connectors: In the PCB layout, place these connectors at suitable and accessible places.
-
Route the traces: Now create traces from the connector to the associated components.
Finally, you would connect your off-board sources to these connectors on the assembled PCB.
Please note that the specific procedures may vary slightly based on the actual design tool interface and the version you are using. Also, remember to verify these steps with your design requirements and constraints.

how to have through hole terminals?
2y
Implementing through-hole terminals in your project involves several steps that assume you have completed your schematic design.
Here are the steps you can follow using the Flux electronics CAD program:
-
Select a Through-hole Connector: Find a suitable through-hole connector in your design tool’s components library. This can be a header, a terminal block, or any other type of connector that matches your needs.
-
Place the Connector on the Schematic: Place the selected connector in the schematic where you want your external connection to be made. This should be placed such that its pins align with the relevant net for the connection you're making.
-
Connect the Connector: Wire the connector to the rest of the circuit as per your design requirements.
-
Move to PCB Layout: Once you’ve completed and validated your schematic, switch over to the PCB layout view.
-
Place the Connector: In the PCB layout, place the connector at the desired location. The tool will automatically generate holes for the selected through-hole connector.
-
Route Connection: Now, you need to route the traces from the connector to the associated components.
-
Check Design Rules: After everything is done, use the DRC (Design Rule Check) to make sure all rules are followed. This will help you catch any issues related to the placement of the through-hole connectors, among other things.
-
Generate Gerber Files: Once you have finalized your design and confirmed it with Design Rule Check, generate your Gerber Files. These files can then be shipped off to your PCB manufacturer. They will understand how to translate the component placements and drill holes into physical objects.
When you receive your completed board from the manufacturer, you will notice that the through-hole connectors have holes going through the board where you can solder your component leads.
Remember that the specific steps could slightly vary depending on the actual design tool interface and the version you're using. Lastly, please verify these steps with your design requirements and constraints. Always consult with your manufacturer for specific requirements they may have related to through-hole terminals, as practices can vary.

Check that all reset/enable have an external pull-up or pull-down resistors. Rep...
1y
Sure, I can help check that. The reset or enable signals are typically associated with flip-flops and microcontrollers (in this case, suggested by the flip-flops named FF1 and FF2 in your design).
Let's start by identifying the reset and enable pins from your project:
- FF1 (CD4013BM): RESET1 (pin 4), RESET2 (pin 10)
- FF2 (CD4013BM): RESET1 (pin 4), RESET2 (pin 10)
The pull-up or pull-down resistors would usually be connected to these pins on a net basis, so let’s check on all relevant nets:
- Net: 36eeba9fb1905b9cfe54456587e385f4: Connected to FF2:RESET1
- Net: 4ea1abf66780b1dea5a955993459c934: Connected to FF1:RESET1
- Net: 4e30ceca3d8403d68c12d4a61a07b244: Connected to FF1:RESET2
- Net: 208bed4dbefb1e0f74b6a4b4cbc12b64: Connected to FF2:RESET2
From the information you've provided, it seems each of these nets only include the reset pin of their corresponding flip-flop. There are no resistors specified in these nets that would serve as pull-up or pull-down resistors.
To ensure your circuit will work as intended:
- Add pull-up or pull-down resistors to Net: 36eeba9fb1905b9cfe54456587e385f4 (for FF2:RESET1)
- Add pull-up or pull-down resistors to Net: 4ea1abf66780b1dea5a955993459c934 (for FF1:RESET1)
- Add pull-up or pull-down resistors to Net: 4e30ceca3d8403d68c12d4a61a07b244 (for FF1:RESET2)
- Add pull-up or pull-down resistors to Net: 208bed4dbefb1e0f74b6a4b4cbc12b64 (for FF2:RESET2)
Please remember these configurations depend on whether you intend to have active-high or active-low resets.
If you need more specific help in terms of resistor values or connection details, please provide more information about your design's requirements.

what does 'REF', override rule for 'REF'
2y
'REF' typically refers to the reference designator for components in a schematic or printed circuit board (PCB) layout. It provides a unique alphanumeric identifier to each component on the schematic, making it easier to follow layout and debugging processes.
For example, resistors might be labeled with designators such as R1, R2, R3 and so on, capacitors as C1, C2, and so on. Integrated circuits may use U (for 'unit'), transistors may use Q, etc.
In the context of the 'override rule for REF', it usually implies that a special rule has been set to override the default automatic assignment or manipulation of the reference designators during the design or annotation processes. This typically involves keeping certain reference designators fixed or following a specific naming strategy that deviates from the default.
However, without specifics on the tool and context where 'override rule for REF' is mentioned, a concrete explanation cannot be provided. I assumed here we were discussing common electronics design practices. If you have a different context in mind, feel free to provide more details.
