Activity 3: Wiring the schematic

In this activity, you connect all the components with wires to make complete and appropriate circuits.

Creating nets on the component

Steps

1. Click Net .

2. Click on the lower pin of resistor 1 (R1) to start a connection. A green circle will indicate you are at the pin connecting point.

   

3. Move the mouse, to the upper pin of resistor 2 (R2) an click when you see the green circle to create the connection. and note that a green line is following it from the pin.

   

4. Add the remaining nets as shown in the figure below. Ensure that at the four locations indicated by arrows there is a solid green circle indicating a junction in the nets. These are automatically created when you terminate a net on an existing net.

   

   Note:

   The exact location of the nets is not critical, the start and end points are what is important.

Activity 3 summary

In this activity, you defined how the components on the circuit board are connected together.
