Placing components from library in PCB Design - Interactive Code Practice

Practice - 5 Tasks

1fill in blank

easy

Complete the code to place a component from the library onto the PCB layout.

PCB Design

component = library.[1]("Resistor_10k")

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

Aselect_component

Bload_component

Cget_component

Dfind_component

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using a method that does not exist in the library API.

Confusing selection with retrieval.

The get_component method retrieves the component from the library so it can be placed.

2fill in blank

medium

Complete the code to place the component at coordinates (x, y) on the PCB.

PCB Design

pcb_layout.place_component(component, x=[1], y=50)

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

A150

B250

C100

D200

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using the wrong coordinate value.

Mixing up x and y values.

The component should be placed at x=150 to align with the design specifications.

3fill in blank

hard

Fix the error in the code to correctly rotate the component by 90 degrees.

PCB Design

component.rotate([1])

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

A180

B90

C1.57

Dpi/2

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using radians instead of degrees.

Rotating by 180 instead of 90.

The rotate method expects degrees, so 90 is the correct value to rotate by 90 degrees.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to place and rotate the component correctly.

PCB Design

pcb_layout.[1](component)
component.[2](90)

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

Aplace_component

Badd_component

Crotate

Dturn

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using incorrect method names that do not exist.

Mixing up placement and rotation methods.

Use place_component to put the component on the PCB, then rotate to turn it 90 degrees.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to load a component, place it at (x, y), and rotate it.

PCB Design

component = library.[1]("Capacitor_1uF")
pcb_layout.[2](component, x=100, y=[3])

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

Aget_component

Bplace_component

C150

Dadd_component

Attempts:

3 left

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'add_component' instead of 'place_component' for placement.

Incorrect y-coordinate value.

First, get_component loads the capacitor. Then, place_component puts it on the PCB at y=150.
