1. Capture Component Details:

   • Identify each component on the existing PCB, including resistors, capacitors, ICs, connectors, and others.
   • Note their designators, package types, and values.

2. Create the Schematic in Flux:

   • Add the components to the schematic editor in Flux.
   • Connect the components following the connections observed on the existing PCB.

3. PCB Layout:

   • Transfer your completed schematic to the PCB layout editor in Flux.
   • Place components on the PCB, aiming to replicate the layout in the photo.
   • Route the traces according to the observed design while adhering to JLCPCB’s design rules.

• Resistors, Capacitors, Inductors: Identify their designators, package types (e.g., 0603, 0805), and values (ohms, farads, henries).
• ICs and Semiconductors: Note part numbers and corresponding pin configurations.
• Connectors: Identify the type and number of pins.

1. Open Flux and create a new project.
2. Add components to the schematic:

   • For example, place a resistor with designator $R1$.
   • Place other relevant components such as capacitors ($C1$), inductors ($L1$), ICs, etc.

3. Connect components in the schematic editor using nets. For example:

   • Connect $R1:1$ to $C1:1$.

1. Switch to the PCB layout editor in Flux.
2. Import the schematic connections.
3. Place the components on the PCB, trying to mirror the layout observed in the photo.

   • Place $R1$, $C1$, and so forth.

4. Route the traces to mimic the connections and design style. Ensure to follow the same routing paths, as long as your design rules allow.
5. Add Vias and Planes: If the existing PCB uses vias and ground/power planes, replicate that structure in your design.

• The board is a 2-layer PCB (top and bottom layers).
• Trace widths and spacings adhere to JLCPCB’s rules.
• Standard component values are used unless specific values are identifiable from the photo.

1. Validate the Design Rules in Flux: Ensure that the design constraints match those of JLCPCB.
2. Generate Gerber Files: Once the design is complete, generate the Gerber files for fabrication.
3. Review and Manufacture: Review the Gerber files and send them for manufacturing.
