Guidelines for clean (and clear) schematics

Post by jeloyah »

I've learned to build schematics mostly by actually seeing schematics. Then, when I had the chance to use an schematic design program (Electronic Workbench, and some similar old programs) I wanted my schematics look like the professional designs I saw.

When I see an schematic, besides to understand of things work, I put attention the way things are placed, connected and identified. That's the other way I've learned a little about schematics. Most of us walked this road and it's probably fine.

Now I think every student should learn the basic guidelines for making clean and clear schematics. Even for themselves, schematic design is the way to discover potential mistakes, or to communicate with other students. Nor the Arduino "schematics", but real world schematics.

I found this, and seems a good start point.

Is there any other available resource to share about these guidelines?
