The program we use to design new PCBs is Altium. There should be 3 licences be available through the RoboTeam. But as a student from the UT or Saxion, you should be able to get a student licence, you need to renew this every six months. All designs are available on the Altium Drive. Our licence for using Altium needs to be renewed every year. External affairs should know when and how.

While using your student license in Altium Designer, you are still able to directly access our Altium drive and work in there. As illustrated here, you can add a custom connection by clicking on your user icon in the top right. Use the same credentials you use for accessing the Altium drive, alongside the following address.

You can either share an already excising project using the share button in the top bar, or create a new project inside the drive.

A good starting point for learning Allium is their getting started guides or other courses in the learning centre. Tips and Trick for debugging

If you want to make sure that you have the latest version of the PCB project you are working on. Right click on the project, go to history & version control and click “update & refresh”. If you want to update the server with your version, you can use the commit button.

PCB's are ordered by Eurocircuits. Thus, PCB designs need to comply their design rules. They do not provide a direct list of rules, but you can derive rules from their classification table. For Proto, only up to class 6 is allowed.

Additionally, they do provide files as a starting for creating your PCB's. If the boards will also be assembled by Eurocircuits, take a look at their generic resistors and capacitors, since they will be free.
