Industrial System Engineering for Drones: A Guide with Best Practices for Designing

Appendix I: Schematics Basics

Schematics are the primary document to design, build and troubleshoot the hardware.

Mostly, the architecture or functional blocks are split in to schematics pages and connected together. There might be separate sections for each subsystems, power delivery and Interconnects. Every electrical subsystem is covered in the schematics. The pages are sequenced in such a way the designer or the test engineers later navigate easily block by block. There are BKMs available for schematics to make it more presentable aesthetically, readable and easily understandable later during the design review and testing phase.

The components or symbols within the page or across the pages are connected through wires called nets . The ...
