To start using Flux, here are the basic steps you need to follow:
-
Create a new project: Start by creating a new project. Once the project is created, you can name it and set up details like the board dimensions and layers.
-
Add and place components: Drag components from the library onto the canvas and drop them where you would want them to be placed. You can adjust their position later as needed.
-
Design the schematic: Draw connections between the components according to your circuit design. Use wires to connect pins between components.
-
Design the PCB: Once your schematic is ready, switch to the PCB layout mode. Transform the abstract schematic into a physical board design.
-
Route traces: Create traces on your PCB by drawing lines that connect pins of different components.
-
Export or manufacture: After your design is complete, you can export the Gerber files and use them to manufacture your PCB.
If you are new to Flux, there is a detailed tutorial that covers all its main features which can guide you as you create your first PCB[1]. You may also want to explore Flux's YouTube channel for video tutorials and recorded events that provide further assistance[2].
Don't hesitate to reach out for support if needed. The Flux Slack community is a great place to get direct help from the Flux team and meet engineers, designers, and other hardware enthusiasts who are using Flux[3].
