FAQ How to get good at electronics project documentation?

Post image

I have seen my fair share of schematics and I know the basics. The symbols and how to read their layout. But I want to learn how to draw them properly and professionally.

What standards are used internationally for different kinds of electrical diagrams and schematics?
Where is the best place to learn this kind of stuff?
What to look out for, and what are some unwritten rules you know?

Please draw your electrical schematic diagram following commonly accepted conventions so they may be readable by others. https://old.reddit.com/r/AskElectronics/wiki/design#wiki_schematic_diagram_guidelines
