How to easily design PCB in EasyEDA software

Step-by-Step Tutorial: Designing a PCB with EasyEDA Software

1. Accessing EasyEDA Software:

   • Go to your web browser and type "EasyEDA" in the search bar.
   • Click on the first link to access the EasyEDA website.

2. Registration:

   • On the EasyEDA homepage, register by either using your Google account or creating a new username and password.

3. Accessing PCB Design Interface:

   • Log in with your credentials.
   • Click on the "Easy Designer" option on the top right corner of the screen to access the PCB designing user interface.

4. Creating a Project:

   • To start designing your PCB, create a new project by going to File > New > Project.
   • Provide a suitable name and description for the project and click on save.

5. Drawing Schematic:

   • Once the project is created, you'll see a sheet with a title block.
   • Start drawing the schematic for your PCB by placing components from the parts library onto the drawing area.

6. Organizing Components:

   • Divide the components into different circuits to simplify the schematic.
   • Use the wire tool to make connections between components, ensuring a clear and understandable circuit diagram.

7. Converting to PCB:

   • Once the schematic is completed, go to the Design tab and click on "Convert Schematic to PCB."
   • Set the unit of measurements, number of layers, shape, and size of the PCB in the new PCB window that opens.

8. Component Placement and Routing:

   • Drag and place components within the PCB outline.
   • Use the auto-router feature to manage routing settings and automatically route traces on the PCB.

9. Adding Copper Area:

   • Add copper areas to the top and bottom layers of the PCB for specific nets like ground.
   • Visualize the PCB in 3D view for a better understanding.

10. Ordering PCB:

    • To order the PCB, go to the Fabrication option and click on "PCB Fabrication File."
    • Check the design rule check (DRC) and generate a Gerber file or order directly from a PCB manufacturer like JLC PCB.

11. Finalizing Order:

    • Enter your name, shipping address, select the shipping method, and proceed with the payment.
    • After successful payment, you will receive your quality PCB in a short time, as JLC PCB offers fast 24-hour PCB production time.

12. Completion:

    • Congratulations! You have successfully designed and ordered a PCB using EasyEDA software. Your PCB will be ready for use shortly.

By following these steps, you can easily design a PCB using EasyEDA software and order it for fabrication.
