I am looking at working with pre made breakout boards and development boards. I would like to be able to document the connection between these as well as the creation of new schematics and PCB's to use with these. For example a STM32VLDiscovery board with a LCD and a new custom H-Bridge board.
What is the best way to go about this? There is a way to have a schematic with a main sheet that links to other sheets, but from the examples I have seen they are referring to sub-parts of the same circuit.
Would you create a schematic symbol for it or just a new schematic sheet and use off-page connectors? If you use a schematic it seems that it would be confusing to tell the difference between what is an IC and what is a dev board.
Anyone have any experience with this or know of a good tutorial? I read the ones I could find (especially the ones created by Altium) and I didn't see anything that looked quite right for this scenario.
