PCB Design Tutorial Start to Finish

Here are some shortcuts I used throughout the video:
[ - rotate left
] - rotate right
f - change tracing elbow (SCH and PCB)
w - cycle through preferred trace widths (PCB)

Also for those who are curious, at 03:20, when I imported other rules, I did so by selecting the ruleset and copy pasting it across a different flux instance: CTRL+C,CTRL+V.

Don't forget you can clone the project for yourself! Flux Menu->Clone Project.

So basically do everything manually as usual and then auto-route, then double check the routes. It appears to be much faster just to use Eagle, Kicad, etc as I have been. Unless I can simply prompt "I need an inverter from 12 to 24 volts dc into single phase AC at 120 volts and 20 amperes, pure sine wave. I want to use IRF 2807Z for the switching mosfets, and optocouplers signaling the gates, and a switching frequency no more than 20Khz." Then have the AI place the components, and or find the data sheets if the component does not exist, then route the board, then allow me to make modifications as needed.

Great tutorial, simple and clear. I would recommend making this a welcome video for new Flux users❤

Hows this different than KiCAD or Altium? I thought this was using AI and building PCB for you.

[abenstirling]

Superbly useful, great thing to cover the design for manufacturing aspect too!

[dolerulz]

I do this in Altium. Where is the AI bit?

[PrachiMandadkar]

This video is really useful, can you provide the tips while routing traces like what is parasitic inductances and cross talk potential

[michaelart.]

do you know when the AI will be able to create the PCB based on the shematic form ...
and create the best path and placement for each component ?
depend of the complexity of the shape that need to fit in or optimized the best way to placed everything ... it could be great to have the help of AI to do it ...

i'm about to learn it anyway, but it could be a great help to finish complex project !

02:34 Pressing 'F' for you right now 😂

[xinzheng]

It seems that the placement and routing are still manual. Can AI do layout now?

[anoniemouse]

damn, really awesome!
this is exactly what I am looking for

[BenAllwoodtheGreat]

Mark, this is awesome! love what you guys have built here.

[mejoe]

Where is the AI bit? Cant see that. Is this fraud or something?

[nesscamelo]

What's AI about this software? Like almost all the others AI is just a marketing label.

[jackflash]

What do you do when you accidently move the IC (because it has an invisible box) and break all your connections and have to redo the entire schematic again to get the wires to connect again?

[SafiUllah-qp]

Complete tools requitement list for practical applivation?

[kreasianakmuda]

Hi..i need the tutorial of Flux in pdf. Where can I find that?

[akashmaharana]

Greatb video and it is very useful software; I was amazed with it's AI (CoPilot) features.

[pjforde]

One thing I'd love to know is what makes a Power Net Portal different from a standard Net Portal. So far as I can tell, it's just a Net Portal with a T symbol instead of a line.

[MustafaTahir-ve]

Wouldn't changing the trace width mid-trace cause some sort of impedance mismatch?
