Using this net tool you will be able to connect all the terminals of the components the way you want. To connect all the components, you can use this net tool. Now, we will finish the circuit by connecting all the components and drawing the circuit. You should also see all these components under the PCB layout tab. We have the header, switch, resistor, and LED. Lets finish by adding the remaining components. Now close that window and you can place that component to the schematics. If you want to get more information about any components in this list, just click on this button and it will show you the footprint of that component.įor now, we'll be using this LED. Only then it will show the component under the PCB layout tab. Here one thing to keep in mind if you are planning to design a PCB layout is, the component you are going to use does have a proper footprint. In the search box, type LED and hit enter then it will list out all the different types of LEDs you can use for your project. Here you will find almost all the components you will need for your projects. You can click on that and add your components. Now we will go to the schematics tab and start adding components. We will be drawing the circuit in the schematics tab and once we are done with the circuit we will be using this "PCB layout" tab to design our PCB. Now if you take a closer look, you will be able to see some tabs over the canvas. This is where we'll be drawing our circuit. Now that will open up a canvas where you can start your work. Now scroll down to the bottom and click "save and open in editor". To get started click on this create button and create the project. You can even collaborate or share your design with your friends as well as your clients. Once you save it you can access it from literally anywhere. The advantage of having a free account is you can draw the circuit, create a layout and save it online. The first thing you need to do is go to Altium’s website and you can create a free account. Everything in this post is free. All you need to get started with your first PCB layout is just a web browser. In this post, I'll be showing you guys how we can design your own PCBs for our projects.
