Is there any /diy/ guide for beginners who want to design their own PCBs for first time?
I want to know this too
>>2968047It depends where youre coming from.Got a solid understanding of electronics?Download KiCAD and do the first project that comes to mind. You'll stumble upon the 'PCB design' specific things along the way and just read up on it, be it power, HF, EMI, thermal or whatever else PCB specific things there are.As someone who has no idea about electronics? Read Horowitz The Art Of Electronics first. Once you understand breadboard or perfboard a few things and then go to the step where u dl KiCAD.
Oh and... BRO WTFBURN IT WITH FIRE NOW
I just use easyeda, simple as drawing the schematic in the site, click on "make pcb", move around the components so they fit nice, then click on auto route.
>>2968047Thread I started here >>>2962509It was my first PCB design.Learned EasyEDA from scratch and then I went down the rabbit hole of impedances and signal integrity.Find something you want to make or upgrade.Get an old Computer case and update the IO PCB like I did for example. I haven't tested my work yet as I screwed up and needed to reoder the PCBsBut finger crossed it will work right out of the box.
