1. Create an Account:
   • Visit Flux and create an account using your email or by linking your Google account.
2. Start a New Project:
   • Once logged in, you can start a new project by clicking on "Create New Project." Give your project a title and description.
3. Adding Components:
   • Use the component library to find and add components to your schematic. You can either search for specific components or browse through categories.
   • Drag components onto the canvas and place them in your desired locations.
4. Connecting Components:
   • Connect components by drawing wires between their pins. You can do this by clicking on a pin and dragging the wire to another pin.
5. Simulating Your Circuit:
   • To simulate your circuit, use the built-in simulator in Flux. This helps validate the functionality of your design before moving onto PCB layout. You can learn more about using the simulator through the provided tutorial.
6. Designing the PCB Layout:
   • Once your schematic is complete and validated, switch to PCB layout mode. Place components on the PCB and route the connections between them.
7. Positioning and Routing:
   • Carefully position components to optimize space and performance. Route the traces efficiently to minimize signal interference and ensure proper connectivity.
8. Finalizing Your Design:
   • Review your design for any errors or optimization opportunities. You can use the Design Rule Check (DRC) to identify potential issues.
9. Exporting Your Design:
   • Once satisfied with your design, you can export the Gerber files needed for manufacturing your PCB.
