Power net portal is a special schematic object used to define a power or ground net. Power ports allow you to conveniently indicate a power net at any location in the design. Power nets of the same designator automatically connect throughout your design #portal #power
A generic fixed inductor for rapid developing circuit topology. *You can now change the footprint and 3D model at the top level anytime you want. This is the power of #generics
Flux is a powerful browser-based electronics CAD tool that allows you to design electrical schematics, lay out PCBs, and simulate circuits. Here’s a quick guide to get you started:
The main Flux interface includes a workspace where you can design your schematics and PCB layouts. You’ll also find libraries for components and a toolbar with various tools.
Creating a Schematic:
Drag components from the library onto the canvas and place them where you like.
Connect components using the wiring tool. Click on a pin and drag to another pin to create a connection.
Placing Components:
You can drag components from the library onto the canvas and drop them where you want to place them.
Simulation:
Flux has built-in simulation tools to test your circuit. You can access simulation features through the interface and run models to ensure your design functions correctly.
Routing:
Position and route your components on the PCB layout to make sure your design is efficient and error-free.
Get Help:
If you run into issues or have questions, the best place for support using Flux is the Flux Slack community. You can also access video tutorials and crash courses through their YouTube channel.
Taking Action in Flux
When using Flux, if Copilot suggests specific connections or modifications to your schematic, you can have it perform those connections for you by clicking on the "Take Action" button.
Resources
YouTube: Explore tutorial videos and crash courses on how to use Flux.
Documentation: Flux’s documentation provides detailed information on how to use various features and troubleshooting tips.
Feel free to ask if you need specific assistance with a feature or a part of your design!
Flux is a powerful browser-based electronics CAD tool that allows you to design schematics, lay out PCBs, and simulate your circuits. Here are some basic steps to get you started:
Getting Started with Flux
Create an Account and Log In:
Open your web browser (Chrome is recommended) and go to flux.ai.
Sign up for an account or log in if you already have one.
Create a New Project:
After logging in, click on the "New Project" button on the dashboard.
Name your project and select the desired settings.
Designing Schematics:
Place components: Drag components from the library onto the schematic canvas. You can search for specific parts using the search bar.
Connect components: Use the wiring tool to connect component pins. This usually involves clicking on one pin and dragging a wire to another pin.
Creating PCB Layouts:
After designing your schematic, switch to the PCB layout mode.
Place components on the PCB canvas and route the traces connecting them.
Simulation:
To run simulations on your circuits, Flux offers built-in simulation tools. You can learn more about running simulations using their tutorial.
Useful Features
Positioning and Routing:
Carefully position and route your components to avoid trace overlap and to ensure the design is as compact as possible. More detailed guidance can be found in the Flux documentation.
Soldering Assistance:
If you plan on soldering your project, there is additional guidance available on Flux to help with that process.
Getting Help:
For support, you can join the Flux Slack community where you can ask questions and interact with other users and the Flux team for help.
For tutorials and other resources, check out the Flux YouTube channel.
Taking Action
While working on your schematic, if you receive specific suggestions on connections from Copilot (me), you can use the "Take Action" button to automatically apply those suggestions to your project.
Feel free to dive into specific details or ask more focused questions!
To change the name of Pin_1 in the Flux.ai's schematic editor, you can follow these steps:
Click on Pin_1 on the schematic to select it.
This should bring up the properties panel. Here, locate the "Designator" field which should currently be displaying "Pin_1".
Click inside the "Designator" field and type in the new name, replacing "Pin_1" with the new name you wish to use.
After inputting the new name, press "Enter" or click outside the field to save the changes.
Remember to avoid using any spaces or special characters in the new name because these are usually not accepted.
Please note that the new name must be unique and not already in use by any other elements within your circuit design. If it's already in use, you will need to choose a different name.
If the designator is grayed out and can't be modified, that suggests that Flux has locked it to ensure the integrity of your design's structure. In some tools, operations like these are restricted to prevent accidental changes that could result in problematic or invalid design states. The designator of a pin is generally a critical parameter and any changes can potentially lead to confusion, especially in designs with many connections.
Normally, creating a new pin with the desired designator and deleting the old would be an effective workaround, but if you have complex connections, this method may be cumbersome and error-prone.
If you feel that the ability to change designators is crucial for your design process, consider reaching out to the Flux support team. They should be able to guide you better if there's an alternative way to modify the designator or they might consider this as a valuable feedback for improving the tool.

Hey, I’m Copilot, your AI design assistant. I can help you brainstorm ideas, debug problems, research components, and even make wiring connections for you. Ask me questions like:
@copilot I'm designing a PCB for a medical device that measures heart rate and temperature. Can you give me the list of components I will need?
@copilot How would I connect these parts to make the LED flash at 1kHz?
@copilot can you choose 4 digital pins on the ATMega328P-AU that I have here to use as GPIO given that I am already using some pins for reset, the external clock, UART, and I2C.
Chat with me by tagging @copilot on comments or in the chat.
