Flux is a powerful tool for designing and simulating electronic circuits, creating schematics, and laying out PCBs. Here’s a brief guide to get you started:
Creating an Account
Sign Up: Visit Flux.ai signup to create an account. You can sign up with your email and password or link your Google account.
Designing Schematics
Add Components: Utilize the component library to drag and drop components onto the canvas. You can search for specific parts.
Place Components: Position the components in the desired locations.
Connect Components: Use the wire tool to connect the pins of different components, following the connection format $Connect , R1:1 , to , C1:1$.
Laying Out PCBs
Switch to PCB Layout: After completing the schematic, switch to the PCB layout mode.
Position Components: Drag your components into the preferred locations on the board.
Route Traces: Use the routing tools to connect pads/pins according to your schematic.
Simulation
Run Simulations: You can simulate your circuit to check its behavior. There is a tutorial available to learn how to run simulation models inside Flux.
Additional Resources
