What I like best about Flux is that it combines design assistance with teaching in a way I haven’t found anywhere else. My background is in finance, not electrical engineering, and Flux has let me work through PCB designs I never thought I’d be able to develop on my own while actually learning why the design decisions matter.
I’ve already manufactured and successfully tested a four-layer protected power-switch board based on TI’s TPS25983 eFuse, and I’m close to sending out two more designs: one built around TI’s BQ25756ERRVR MPPT solar charge controller, and another using three TI TPS2HC16 automotive high-side switches tied into an onboard Arduino Nano BLE Sense Rev2.
The biggest value is how much of the development process I can work through in one place. I can upload datasheets, compare components, work through schematic and layout decisions, ask for routing guidance, estimate BOM costs, interpret manufacturing quotes, build test plans, and then come back with real-world test results and keep iterating. For a self-funded business, being able to do that much work before paying for fabrication, assembly, or outside engineering help is huge.
And when I don’t understand something, I can just ask. Instead of stopping to search through tutorials or documentation, Flux can explain the problem in the context of the board I’m actually working on. That combination of building and learning at the same time is what has made the biggest difference for me. It has completely changed what I thought I could realistically do myself.
I like the web based idea of program, implementation of new technology which is AI for PCB design, also worth mentioning is real time price of components
You can describe your requirements to copilot AI and it can give you a list of components that you will need and explain how to connect them together and even write a code for a firmware if needed.
