Now we will go to the schematics tab and start adding components.

We will be drawing the circuit in the schematics tab and once we are done with the circuit we will be using this "PCB layout" tab to design our PCB. Now if you take a closer look, you will be able to see some tabs over the canvas. This is where we'll be drawing our circuit. Now that will open up a canvas where you can start your work. Now scroll down to the bottom and click "save and open in editor". To get started click on this create button and create the project. You can even collaborate or share your design with your friends as well as your clients. Once you save it you can access it from literally anywhere. The advantage of having a free account is you can draw the circuit, create a layout and save it online. The first thing you need to do is go to Altium’s website and you can create a free account. Everything in this post is free. All you need to get started with your first PCB layout is just a web browser. In this post, I'll be showing you guys how we can design your own PCBs for our projects.
