Organize schematic parts
We will create an updated version of the really bare bones pro PCB starting with its capture schematic. The really bare bones pro is a simplified version of the popular Arduino family of microcontrollers and it can make an otherwise normal device interact with its surroundings. For example, with this really bare bones forward, you can display vibration data on an LCD. So go ahead and open the PDF of the completed schematic from your exercise files. First, let's organize the schematic and capture into different categories like we have here, power management, microprocessor, and connectors. To do that, we need to place text onto the schematic so I'm going to zoom in here with I on the keyboard. Then I place some text so go to place text and I'll name it my project so we'll need the title of my project here. Set the color to whatever you like. I'm going to choose maroon. The font will be Times New Roman bold font size 20 and click okay then okay. I'll place it in the upper left here. Now…
