PCB Design for Absolute Beginners: Layout Printed Circuit Boards in a Web Browser

PCBs are the green boards that you see inside almost every electronic device in your home. They have a lot of components connected with metal tracks. We will teach you how to make those green boards step-by-step. First, we will look at what a PCB is exactly and how one works. Then we will explore various steps required for planning a new build. Using easily accessible software, we’ll walk through component selection, schematics, and finally board layout. With simple software and readily available components, you will be able to create a beautiful PCB for your project.

Designing PCBs provides a variety of practical lessons that will help you tackle more complicated electronics and robotics projects. From understanding how different components work together to the importance of proper planning, circuit board design can teach you valuable engineering skills. You’ll develop important skills in engineering, such as project planning, forward-thinking, and project-to-product conversion skills. Let’s start learning printed circuit board design!

Hobbyists, electronics enthusiasts, and students who have a working knowledge of electronics and want to step ahead in circuits and engineering.
