Power flag problem


 

开云体育

I have a schematic that does not have a power source, it comes from a connector. I have labelled the power wires +VDC #PWR01 and -VDC #PWR02, but Electrical Rules Check gives the 'Input power pin not driven ...' error message for both. How can I fix this?

You need to connect a power flag symbol to each of the two wires.
You'll find it in the standard symbol libraries (it looks like a lollipop).

Thank you. My problem cam from opening the power symbol list by clicking on the 'earth/ground' icon. The list that opened did not show the PWR_FLG symbol, but later it appeared. I suppose the list did not fully load.

You can place a PWR_FLAG symbol on the relevant net. You can find this in symbol folder called "Power". Usually, GND also needs one.
