We get allot of questions from our members and other forums about electronic design and the work-flow we follow when making a Gizmo come to life. One of these questions caught our attention for making this Blog entry. The question was: Hi, I am new to embedded development and your site has been of great help to me. I had a query regarding the way device are made from Scratch to Finish. I am going to take the example of Flow 1.0 or 1.5. I wanted to know, your initial designs and spec say that the phone will have XYZ features. After it is decided that you are going to use Gumstix for your project, what is the procedure after that? As far as I can understand after selecting all the features, you sit through the data sheets of each component used in the project and work out the schematic layout using KiCad or eagle CAD. I wanted to know after you have decided the interfaces like blue-tooth,WiFi ,sensors, how do you simulate your circuit? Is there any software or tool you use to determine the behavior or is it just trial and error system. It would be great if you could guide me through the process of the design, after the device specifications.

This tutorial will guide you through the process of assembling the FLOW. If you don't have a part mentioned here or the part you have differs from the one used here then just skip the explanation of that part and continue with the rest of the tutorial. It is also assumed that you know what you are doing and have some experience in this field.

There are many programs for making Schematic designs and PCB layouts. They all have something different and many people have compared them in the past and are still comparing them. We have worked in the past with the best programs for designing PCB's and schematics and surprisingly KiCad is (by our opinion) the closest thing to a professional software. There are many reasons on why we think so but when it comes to fast prototyping and error management as well as Layered design then even among Commercially affordable software there are very few that do the job as we would like them to. Also KiCad is free and Open Source, that makes us like it even more.
