Get to know this easy-to-use and ease-of-manufacturing tool called Easy EDA PCB design.

Introduction

Previously, you’ve learned about the popular open-source PCB design tool called KiCAD. This tool is ideal for creating complex, personalized PCB designs. It’s also completely open source and continuously developed by the open-source community. However, there are other PCB design tools that may help you with your projects. One of them is the Easy EDA PCB design tool.

What is Easy EDA

As its name suggests, Easy EDA is an Electronic Design Automation tool that’s used to design, simulate, and verify electronic systems such as PCBs. Easy EDA integrates directly with the popular manufacturing firm JLCPCB and components distributor LCSC. With this, it should be a breeze designing, choosing components, fabricating, and assembling your PCBs.

How to Start Easy EDA

There are two methods for starting Easy EDA. You can use it in a browser as a completely online tool, or you can download a client app for your PC. Whatever you choose, the two methods look very similar. If you prefer always working with saved projects on your PC, go for the client app.

You’ll be pleased to know that it’s easy to work with Easy EDA. Here, the downloaded client app is used as a demo. To start a project, click File –> New Project. Enter the path and project name for this.

You can open the new project in a new Window once you’ve created it.

Easy EDA Schematic Work

Making a schematic diagram in Easy EDA is easy. In fact, you can place schematic components in your diagram that are already available from a components distributor (LCSC). To start, double-click on the Schematic icon from the Project Design tab on the left side pane. You should see the schematic page appear.

Next, place a component/symbol by clicking Place –> Device/Reuse Block.

Choose from a vast number of components by going to the LCSC tab. You can alternatively go to the EasyEDA tab to look for available schematic symbols or reuse a block you already made from your projects. Click Place to place your part on the schematic.

Once you’ve placed your schematic symbols/components, you can begin wiring. You can use Place –> Wire, –> Net Flags, etc, to complete your schematic. You can also use the Floating tool as design aid as shown in the video demo below.
