Activity 3: Wiring the schematic

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

Creating nets between components in the Schematic design.

Prerequisites

• Activity 2 is complete.

Steps

1. Click Design > Connect > Net .

2. Click 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 pointer, to the upper pin of resistor 2 (R2) and click when you see the green circle to create the connection. See that net is shown as a green line that is following pointer from the pin.

   

4. Add the remaining nets as shown in the image below. Confirm 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.
