Wow this is a whole new world for me. It's crazy all the stuff we have access to!
I'll have to download and try it out when I get home. Thanks buddy!

[@overshootchannel]

Absolutely. Feel free to sign up for the Slack community and ask any questions you have.

[@NamdeoPatil]

Keep the sound intensity constant.

[@yifeiwang644]

When I finished the schematics and move to the layout, there is always a airwire and J1 - ground does not connect to R1 - ground. Do you know how to fix it?

[@ritec]

Amazing tool.

[@brianruto8055]

Insane video editing skill, worth mentioning. How'd you do that popping effect bytheway

[@overshootchannel]

Thank you! It was a combination of separating each element from a screenshot and animating it in Adobe After Effects.

[@sparkybrit]

Figma for PCB designs!

[@joshchastain8744]

Nice

Flood fill leaves non-connected copper. How do you test for it and delete?

[@overshootchannel]

So you can't delete it at the moment, although, I believe it's in the works. The best way to fix copper islands right now is to place a via.

Why would i use it, if i have to d9 every manually

[@jeffparker4840]

I'm following the video and my components don't have a dot in the middle of the terminals to connect traces.. I moved everything on to the same layer and made sure I was working on the right side of the part.. I get 1 dot and I can't connect it to any other components.

[@overshootchannel]

That's odd. I think I'd have to see it to know what's going on. Have you signed up for the official slack channel? There, you can find a whole community of people eager to help out (including myself).

[@jumpjack2]

where is AI coming into the game? I see just a manual editor.

[@critical_always]

Unfortunately, you completely lost me at 4:25 with the part number. Where did that suddenly come from?

[@overshootchannel]

I copied it directly from Digikey and pasted it into Flux.

[@dwaynearthur1476]

cool

[@111chicane]

What part of this process has to do with AI? I see no difference from using any other design tool.

[@overshootchannel]

Check out my latest video on how to use AI in your project:

[@GunPilot64]

Really like the software but sooo buggy. Should fix the bugs before adding yet more cool features (with bugs)

[@overshootchannel]

It is a relatively new software, so there are bugs. If you find any, however, please report them. That's the best way to get them resolved as quickly as possible.

[@ajingolk7716]

What abiut code 🤔

[@eigengrey9605]

but how to use the ai
