PCB and Enclosure Workflow
Thought for 6 sec
Designing a complete product in Flux is an iterative workflow where the electronics, PCB layout, firmware plan, enclosure, and manufacturing constraints stay in one project.
- PCB-first: Define requirements → design and verify the schematic → size, place, and route the PCB → generate the enclosure around the finished board and connector locations. This is best when electrical performance, component placement, or an existing board drives the product shape.
- Enclosure-first: Define how the product is held, mounted, operated, and connected → create the enclosure and internal mechanical envelope → design the PCB to fit its mounting points, ports, controls, and height limits. This is best when appearance, ergonomics, or a fixed installation space drives the design.
In either workflow, I can review the current state, make coordinated electrical and mechanical changes, check fit and connectivity, prepare bring-up documentation, and iterate toward manufacturing outputs. Expect explicit checkpoints at major transitions—particularly schematic to layout—because late electrical or mechanical changes can propagate across the whole product.
No project changes were made in this session. Execution stopped because your ACUs ran out.
