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.
