Alright, welcome back. In this video I'll show you how to take your PCB environment that you just set up in PCB designer light or PCB editor light and the schematic that you created here and capture cis light not to transfer your schematic to the actual PCB, Larry components and get your PCB design here. So, what you want to do is make sure you have capture cis light open with your project open. And right now I'm going to create netlist option which is I'm just going to close this and show you how to get back to that in case you missed it. Just make sure you select the LED PCB page on your project and go to Tools create netlist and then that window will appear. Okay.
So check mark creator update PCB editor board. And for the input board file, you would select the one you just made in PCB editor like So before I do that, I'm going to close this. It asks me if I want to save Yes. Now remember or recall, where you actually saved that PCB outline. So for the input board file, click on the ellipses here. I'm going to navigate to my folder, led Allegro holder, and it's looking for this dot Brd file, so click on it to open and notice the output board file.
It's just going to be named led dot Brd there's no need for me to create a new PCB, so I'm just gonna name it the same thing. what it'll do is it will open the LED PCB, then rewrite over it and then save it again with the same name. Okay. And the bottom section here, board launching option, make sure to choose Open board and PCB editor or AutoCAD PCB editor. Click OK. Now it's complaining about not having a full license for this. So I'll just enter the light mode.
Yes. Okay, this PCB environment looks exactly the same. So what's changed? Right? Well, what's happened is that the components that were in the schematic here have been placed into the environment for your PCB editor, or your PCB here. So go to place components manually, and then check mark all of these.
So you want to check mark that components by ref desk box, so all the parts get selected, hide this window by clicking the hide button. Now I'm going to place D one this is the diode or LED if you will, right click and choose rotate. That will rotate the component. Left click to continue placing it I'm going to place it right here. Notice How the other connector or component attaches to my cursor automatically whenever I placed one. So I'm going to place it right here, please this other connector here.
And lastly, I'll put this resistor right across from here. Great. Now I want to rotate this D one device. So to do that, I have to pick it back up, click, left click on at once. Right click, choose rotate. Just move it around till it's rotated the way I want to click wants to place right here.
Let's see if I can line it up. All right. So that's that's pretty okay. I'm gonna try to line up this here. Okay, it's good. I'll try to line up this last connector here.
Great. everything's lined up nicely, but I'm still in part placement mode. So I have to right click, which is done. Very good. Go to File, Save. Yes.
Next thing you want to do is to wire these components just like you did in capture cis like, so it's really simple, just go to route Connect, click once on this path back here, and then just move your cursor along to the left. Do not click hold and drag, just click release and the wire will follow wherever your cursor is going. Click once to place that connector there. Continue this process to connect these other pins and pat stacks. And there you go. Now right click and choose done.
All components are connected added together. Make sure you go to File and Save. Click Yes. Sometimes the software can close on its own. It happens very rarely. But whenever that does happen, you want to make sure that your project is saved.
