Learn To Design Your Own Boards
During this course, you will use the Arduino Uno reference schematic, you will learn how to modify it, how to improve it and how to do PCB layout. You will learn a lot of useful tips and tricks and you will work with a real board. The course videos are step-by-step. After you finish this course, you will have your own board which you can manufacture.
This course is for Beginners, Hobbyists, Students and young Engineers. No previous Altium Designer knowledge required.
What you will learn in this course
1 Drawing Schematic – Microcontrollers
Starting a new project and drawing a schematic for your PCB. You will understand how to place microcontrollers on the schematic and connect them to headers. Create components such as the ATMEGA328P, ATMEGA16U2, 6/8/10 pin headers, and more.
2 Drawing Schematic – Decoupling & Crystals
About drawing schematic for powers, decoupling and crystal circuits. Finding and creating components such as 100nF/10uF/18pF Capacitors, 1M Resistor, Ferrite Bead, 16MHz Crystal, and 2×3 Header. Creating footprints and schematic symbols. 3D models improvement and placement into the footprint.
3 Drawing Schematic – 328P RESET, ICSP, UART
Drawing schematic with net names, schematic filter, 328P reset circuit, ICSP1 header, and UART. Creating various library components such as 22R/1k/10k resistors, 2×2 header, switch, diode, and AND gate. Adding 3D models. Connecting rest of the IO connector signals and other components.
4 Drawing Schematic – 16U2 RESET, LEDs, LDO
How to draw schematics that include the 16U2 reset circuit, LEDs, LDO regulator, and power. Creating components such as 1×3/1×4 headers, LEDs, 560R/0R resistor, and LDO regulator to be used in your schematic. About additional reset signal connections, solder stencils, power voltage selection and selecting pullup resistor value.
5 Drawing Schematic – USB & Mechanical
Drawing a schematic for a circuit board that includes a USB circuit, a user button, pads and mounting holes, fiducials, a DIP socket, and a link. How to create components such as a micro USB connector, a varistor, a 100uF capacitor, a 2.2uH inductor, pads, fiducials, mounting holes, a DIP socket, and a link.
6 Finishing Schematic, Starting PCB, Placement
Finish drawing the schematic by adding annotations, pages, notes, page numbers, and a title block. How to check the schematic and how to generate a BOM. After completing the schematic, you will learn how to start the PCB design process by importing components to the PCB and synchronizing the schematic and PCB. Placing all the components into the PCB.
7 PCB Layout
Creating a paper model of your PCB. Setting up the basic rules and Stackup for the PCB. Identify and resolve common PCB violations such as clearance violations and silk-to-silk violations. Preparing your project for layout by configuring layer sets, default VIA, net colors, and track width rules. Starting the layout, including placing components and routing traces.
8 Improving PCB
Importing schematic changes into PCB. How changes made in the schematic can be reflected in the PCB. About polygons and planes, including how to draw them, set polygon rules, establish thermal connections, and manage their priorities. Improving your tracks, ensuring they meet your design requirements and constraints.
9 Finishing PCB
Finishing the PCB. Improving the silkscreen layer of your design, adding designators, pin 1 indicators, and descriptions. Importing a picture into your PCB. Creating an assembly drawing layer, a mechanical drawing and manufacturing notes layers. Fixing silkscreen violations. Creating board variants and generating Gerber files for manufacturing.
10 Generating Manufacturing Outputs
Generating manufacturing outputs for your PCB project, such as NC Drill files and documents for the Assembly house, including mechanical and assembly drawings, BOMs and more. How to generate other documents, such as STEP files and schematic PDFs. Connect the manufactured board and update the firmware. Running a BLINK example to ensure the board is working properly.
