    Hi Kevin!
    I have to say, thank you so much for taking your time putting this video together. Some of us out here are truly grateful and appreciate your efforts greatly.
    This taught me alot, as a Mechatronics Engineer in the making.
    I love how you explain things smoothly and take your time doing the job like how a noon would for clarity.
    Great job mate.

    Don't quit, we see you. 🔥 🤝

    Hi Kevin, I’ve been enjoying your Fusion PCB creation tutorial and I have a couple of tips for you that will make your life simpler. The Select tool is something I use constantly and is very powerful. I find it very helpful for positioning things since it acts like an info command when you select a pad, component, line, or any other object. It gives you the coordinates of an object and allows you to edit them as well. So, for instance, placing pads for a foot print you can reference your first pad to the origin, which is (0,0), and then your other pads can be placed relative to that. So, if you have an IC that has .6 inch spacing between the pad rows and 40 pins, you can place the first pad the first pad at (-.3,1.0). This will have your first set of 20 pads at -.3, so your second set of pads will be at .3 , giving the .6 spacing with the origin at the center of the foot print. You can move the entire foot print to orient it so pin one is at (0,0) or wherever you prefer. This helps also when selecting and placing footprints in the PCB editor when you are laying out the board. If you need to move a component by just a bit, .05 or .025 etc. just select it and edit the coordinates. Fusion also has some great alignment tools also. I really enjoy and look forward to your videos.

    This was posted 9 months ago, has the Electronics syncing been simplified since or is all the pushing back and forth still required? I fooled with this about a year ago, electronics with 3D modeling, and it's workflow was cumbersome. Thanks for the video.

    Hi Kevin, fantastic video. Especially where you are creating the library part for the Pico W. Question... Do you use Fusion360 electronics to draw up your cables with connectors on? I kind of cheat and draw them as if they were for a PCB; however, it would be good to draw them with all parts, like the shell, the pins and the wire, and even the screws, so I can get a good BOM. So far, I only seem to be able to add my own "library part" for the connector and wires, which is a good start, but not sure how to add the hardware like screws as it is not technically part of the schematic. What are your thoughts on how best to do this?

  • @CraigHollabaugh
    @CraigHollabaugh 8 місяців тому

    One more question. You created a derived board outline from your enclosure CAD model offset sketch. I seem to remember that you can't place that circuit board back into the 3D enclosure because of a circular reference. Is this still true as well? Do you have a video on this issue? Thanks.

    • @CraigHollabaugh
      @CraigHollabaugh 8 місяців тому

      Just tried this, circular ref issue remains. The workaround is create yet another file and place the enclosure and the circuit board in this new file. This is just above functional. I might be missing something here.

    proof that Eagle in Fusion is one hot mess.. btw. You can scroll with your mouse wheel/switch. Combining ctrl, shift and the mouse wheel will get you around the UI pretty well. Good on you for doing this live stream. This is what we all go through. It is so complex that if you come back to it in a couple of months you have to learn it all again. I've had Eagle for at least a decade and a half and I have done about 10 large boards with it. It took a lot of effort to get them done though. In the end, it was reliable. (doesn't crash as much on a PC, BTW)

      Thumbs up from me. It is a hot mess, though it is a hot mess all in one big dumpster with random crashes to keep us guessing when it might not do the next thing asked of it. Attempting to route signal pairs allow PC users to get more consistent crashes if you like that kind of pain. It will save your files behind a paywalled cloud if you pay for it and also update randomly and always ask for feedback on close. It's terrific.

      I believe it is going to get better soon. Autodesk knows how to make good softwares. It might take time, as anyone who have ever worked with software knows. Integrations like these, eagle into fusion are massive projects. But I like the idea of a single software that can make 3d designs, assemblies, fluid, structural and thermal (preliminary) analisys and PCBs. It is like a makers dream. I am enjoying where fusion is getting.

    anybody looking for the switch, you have to turn on the library switch-omron for the 10-xx, Switches (TE) for the second one

    in the 2d PCB design where you'd place the components, i only get and error message, some objects extend outside the allowed area, and i cannot drop them, i even tried minimizing the sitze of the area, since it seems that on the free version only 80cm² is allowed but even after that it does not work.

    If you name the pads when you place the pads and name them the same as you do in the schematic it's easier to do the connections

    Hi Kevin. I like to watch your videos. They are all awesome. I would like to know what software or setup you are using to present your video. Is it possible for you to share it with me?

    • @kevinmcaleer28
      @kevinmcaleer28  Рік тому +1

      Thanks! I use Apple Keynote for the slides, and Ecamm Live for broadcasting. I also use a couple of other bits - a Stream deck for switching between scenes, Restream to broadcast to multiple locations at once, epidemic sounds for licensed music, Canva for thumbnails, tube-buddy and vidiq for YT optimisation.

      @@kevinmcaleer28 Thanks for the sharing Kevin. Really appreciate it. I love the way you present. I believe it is because of the arrangement of the screen and also the style of presentation. Keep up the good work. Would love to follow your way of presentation, but its a long way to go. BTW, i printed the Spooky Scary Skeleton. My kids love to play with it.

    Anyone catch Pin2 got grounded when it should have been Pin3. Rename file to Let the Smoke Out Pico.
