Power net portal is a special schematic object used to define a power or ground net. Power ports allow you to conveniently indicate a power net at any location in the design. Power nets of the same designator automatically connect throughout your design #portal #power
A generic fixed inductor for rapid developing circuit topology. *You can now change the footprint and 3D model at the top level anytime you want. This is the power of #generics
Hey, I’m Copilot, your AI design assistant. I can help you brainstorm ideas, debug problems, research components, and even make wiring connections for you. Ask me questions like:
@copilot I'm designing a PCB for a medical device that measures heart rate and temperature. Can you give me the list of components I will need?
@copilot How would I connect these parts to make the LED flash at 1kHz?
@copilot can you choose 4 digital pins on the ATMega328P-AU that I have here to use as GPIO given that I am already using some pins for reset, the external clock, UART, and I2C.
Chat with me by tagging @copilot on comments or in the chat.
Great, it looks like you're interested in creating a PCB from the design files of the ElectronBot project. This is a fantastic learning project! To get started, here are the general steps you will need to take:
Download the Design Files:
If you haven't already, download the design files from the GitHub repository. Based on the link, these files are usually in formats like .sch (schematic) and .brd (board layout).
Upload Files to Flux:
You will need to upload these files into Flux. Flux supports many common PCB design file formats, so you should be able to import them directly.
Review and Edit the Schematic:
Once the files are uploaded, open the schematic and review the design. Make any necessary adjustments or modifications based on your preferences or requirements.
Verify the PCB Layout:
In the layout editor, ensure that all components are correctly placed and routed. Check for any design rule violations or potential issues that might affect the performance of your PCB.
Generate Gerber Files:
After you finalize the design, generate Gerber files. These files are essential for PCB manufacturing. Flux should have the capability to export these files.
Order the PCB:
Use the Gerber files to order the PCB from a manufacturer. Many online services, like JLCPCB, PCBWay, or OSH Park, allow easy uploading of Gerber files.
Let me know if you need specific help with any of these steps, such as navigating Flux, checking connections, or troubleshooting issues.
