I am playing with quilter. It seems I am not able to set up the bottom layer to a ground layer. Having a solid ground plane in a 2 or 4 layer PCB is common, especially if we put all components on one side.
In addition, the buck convertor should support multiple input and output capacitors if one capacitor is not enough. Current setup does not support buck convertor using external mosfets.
Please let me know how to resolve this in quilter
Hi there,
Thanks for the post here! We don’t natively allow you to set the bottom layer to be a solid ground plane within Quilter, but you can add a ground pour in your ECAD tool and preserve it while also selecting single sided placement to get that result.
We can also support multiple components for a single switching converter if you add a row to the switching converter comprehension section (step 5) and set the same switching converter reference designator you can add additional inductors & input/output capacitors.
Feel free to send your job link to me at justin@quilter.ai and I can take a look and give more specific feedback!
Thanks,
Justin - Quilter
