This free online course teaches how to use Focus 360 to create a circuit design and convert it into a PCB.

This course is ideal for anyone who aspires to gain experience in 3D design, circuit design, simulation, or PCB construction. First, we provide an overview of the Focus 360 software and its amazing capabilities. Then, we go over the steps required in downloading and running the software for the first time. Following that, we discuss the user interface, which includes the Switch, Place, and Connect menus. Adding electronic components and external libraries to obtain additional objects is also addressed.

Next, we investigate the step-by-step procedure of adding components and arranging them on the schematic to generate our first circuit design. The methods of changing the element's value and checking for errors are then covered. Following that, you will learn how to route resistors, LEDs, capacitors and the remaining components manually and automatically. You will then discover how to turn your circuit onto a PCB and visualise it in three-dimensional form.

Finally, the course examines a practical example that begins with inserting the essential pieces, such as a PIC microcontroller and a crystal, then connects all of those components after ensuring the schematic is flawless, and concludes with a PIC microcontroller training board creation. This accessible course will prepare you to extract the most of Focus 360 and reach all your objectives as a skilled PCB designer. Register right away!
