Exporting Schematic to PCB
Last week, we finished creating our schematic. In your schematic, click on the Convert Project to PCB… button.
You should be presented with an initial board outline and your components connected by air wires.
Getting Started with EasyEDA Part 2: Schematic Capture
Placing Parts in the Schematic
We made the parts we need in Part 1, so now we can create the schematic for our linear regulator. Click on the File icon, select New, and click Schematic.
In the parts selector, make sure My Parts is selected, click on our custom part (CON_BARREL_JACK), and click somewhere on the schematic to place the part.
Getting Started with EasyEDA Part 1: Part Creation
Introduction
Free, online development and CAD tools are becoming more popular and powerful, and PCB layout tools are no exception. In this, we are going to look at how to create a simple schematic in EasyEDA, turn it into a PCB, and send out the design files to a PCB house for fabrication.
We will do this in several parts–starting with part creation, then schematic capture, and PCB layout before sending out files for board fabrication. By the end, we’ll have made a simple linear regulator that supplies 5V and up to 1A to a breadboard and accepts a barrel jack from a wall adapter to provide power.
