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

Certainly! The relay you've mentioned, the SRD-05VDC-SL-C, is a Single Pole Double Throw (SPDT) relay, which means it has one common contact (COM) that can switch between two different contacts (normally open, NO, and normally closed, NC) when the coil is energized.
A1 and A2 are the pins for the relay coil. Here’s what each pin generally does:
A1: One end of the relay coil. When a voltage is applied across A1 and A2, the electromagnetic coil generates a magnetic field that either makes or breaks the switch between COM and NO or COM and NC.
A2: The other end of the relay coil. It pairs with A1 to complete the circuit for the coil.
In practical terms:
Applying 5V across A1 and A2 activates the relay.
When deactivated, COM is connected to NC.
When activated, COM switches from NC to NO, connecting to NO.
So, to summarize:
A1 and A2 are used to energize the relay coil.
COM, NC, and NO are used to control the switching part of the relay.
Would you like suggestions on how to connect these in a specific circuit?
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.
