To understand EPOXY, we will make a sinple exemple. Note : Passing from a program to another (this file and EPOXY) may cancel pending constructions in EPOXY. It is better to print this file… In this small tutorial, you learn how to : • Place a component • Repeat last action • Move yourself in the program • Move and turn objects • Place electric links • Edit a component • Export scheme • Make an electrical check • Generate the net • Create roads, using the net • Bevel • Manage short-circuits • Modify objects At first, start EPOXY, it can be useful :-) Check that the active window is the right window, which content is white. This window will contain the scheme. The other window (salmon color) will contain the PCB Implant a component Below, it’s the library component : This window is normaly in the hight right corner of your screen. You can open several windows via the Window menu, in order to have different open library in same time. Open the local menu in this window and choose “Active”. Next go down in the open list and click on the NE555. The small preview window is open : Double click on the NE555, in the library window (not in preview window). The yellow frame says you “Click on the scheme to place the component.” Tutorial edition of the 18/07/04 page 1/12 Otherwise, click in the white window and begin again. The mouse cursor is when it is over the window. Click in. The yellow frame say you “Place now the component in the copper.”. So, click in the left window to place the component. Your component is displayed in the 2 windows : Now we will place the other component, to make an oscillator. Maybe you want to place a component in the scheme, without seeing the PCB ? For that, press the button. This button indicates to EPOXY that you won’t create PCB now. Choose “Window → Full screen (bis)” in the menu. You can zoom by using the wen button. So you can concentrate yourself on the scheme only… In order to make an oscillator with a ne-555, you need 2 resistors and 2 capacitors. In the component library (always the window in the right high corner) open the local menu which contains the components headings and choose “resistors”. Double click on R1/4W which is the 1/4 Watt resistor, and click in the white sheet near the ne555. To place a second resistor, press on Space key of your keyboard and click again in the sheet… The SPACE key repeats last action. Do the same to place the 2 capacitors. Choose for example,“IRC2,54mm” and place it. Press Space key to place the second. Your scheme will nearly look like this : Move the objects But you wanted the components to be standing… Well, OK. Click on a Tutorial edition of the 18/07/04 page 2/12 component, choose “Object →Rotation 90°” in the menus. EPOXY waits for you to place the …
