[Professional Edition Tutorial] Lighting Control System

1. Engineering background

      How to use and learn Lichuang EDA Professional Edition? Why does EasyEDA launch the professional version? What are the advantages of the professional version? How to better use the professional version of EasyEDA for design. This project will take you step by step to use the professional version. This case uses the lighting control system case as the background and takes you from the creation and management of the device library, schematic rule setting and design, PCB rules and layout design, 3D printing, panel Export and use design (not updated) and production files. Learn more about the functions and features of Lichuang EDA Professional Edition.

2. Introduction to Professional Edition

      Compared with the standard version, the professional version can achieve 30,000 devices without lag, is very smooth, and has more rigorous design constraints and design processes. It is mainly aimed at professional PCB design engineers and complex circuit designs. Currently, the professional version also supports client downloads, including the following modes:

Full online mode: login required, libraries and projects are stored in the cloud, supports collaboration, and supports automatic backup of cloud projects to local;

Semi-offline mode: no login required, libraries and projects are stored locally, collaboration is not supported, and cloud system libraries are supported. This mode is recommended.

Full offline mode: no login is required, libraries and projects are stored locally, collaboration is not supported, and the use of cloud system libraries is not supported. Built-in 1w+ commonly used system libraries.

Professional version development history:

1. In 2020, the design framework will be reconstructed based on the standard version and Lichuang EDA Professional Edition will be launched to solve the problem of large PCB jamming.
2. In 2021, in order to adapt to applications in various scenarios, a fully offline version will be launched, and 3D shell design and panel design functions will be added.
3. In 2022, the professional version product performance will be further improved, and a color silk screen design will be launched to make your PCB full of color. The enterprise privatized version will be available soon.
