Incredible. I had to spend 10 years in industry *plus* Engineering school to learn all of this, soup to nuts. And, now, here it all is, presented for everyone to learn in an easy to access, concise format. Thank you again, Phil!

YEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It'd be much harder to get involved in designing your own PCB without videos like this. Thank you Phil!

Thank you for making the course free Phil! You are amazing.

Ive been routing PCBs since 1979, using tape, then CAD - this was one of the best tutorials I have seen. Thank you for sharing.

Original two videos really helped me to start with PCB design. Specifically, I like about these videos that they end to end from design to manufacturing. I think, this completion is really important specially for beginners. Thanks!

I can't describe how grateful I am for this video. It's filled with content up to the brim and there is no cheap talking. Thank you.

Hi, awesome course where nothing is missing - there nothing but a real life example to understand all the little tricks that make the difference, thanks Phil.

It's nice to see your credentials in the video. It's something I miss in a lot of videos. I think most people don't mention this because they they want to be humble but I find a lot of value in knowing someone's background. A scientist will have a different perspective than a hobbyist and a hobbyist will have different perspective than someone working in the industry. Someone designing factory floor machinery will have a different perspective from someone designing cost sensitive products. All perspectives are valid and important. it's just nice to know who you're listening to so you can get the best of all worlds.

If only every datasheet had such a clear step by step guide like this video. Very well done

I am a licensed ham radio operator here in the US, but I’ve never done much with the practical application of the electrical theory side of our education. Because of a project I’m working on, and this video, it has really brought to life what had been strictly academic for me up until now! Thank you!

You deserve more recognition. Your contribution is essential to all that hope to succeed in the design of a pcb layout.

You are an amazing person! You could have kept the course for a price on udemy but instead you chose to make it free and accessible to everyone. Hats off to you.

Learnt more from this video than my 2 month microcontroller uni course. Thank you for sharing, will look more into your videos!

I’ve just stumbled across this course and before I knew it and hour and forty had passed. A very good piece of work.

Awesome tutorial, I learned a lot. I was especially interested in the way you did the ground planes. I watched another tutorial a month ago when I first started with KiCad that suggested using ground planes on both the back and front, so that is what I've been doing. With that, for most ground connections I've been letting the front ground mask make most of the ground connections, except where space was limited. I'm currently working on a mixed digital / analog design with a Teensy 4.1 controller board, and plan to go back and adjust a few things based on what I've now learned.

Thank you very much! A data-rich course, requiring many replays of key points, as you would expect for such. I have wanted to produce my own PCBs for some time but now I have the confidence to go ahead. Thanks again.

I cannot thank you enough, this video is both a gem and a lifesaver. For years, I've felt lost in electronic design, not being able to break it down, it just wasn't clear to me. You have opened a window through which I finally see a way ahead. If you are not teaching at some school or private electronics club, it's a loss to a lot of people out there, but thankfully you share an amazing content on-line. The only problem is finding out about your channel, once that is achieved, it's a keeper. I have two questions for you: 1 - Could you consider a video on oscilloscopes, with an emphasis on serial protocol readings and noise reduction? I have done a quick search and haven't found such a video in your channel, and it could be quite helpful for a lot of people, me included. 2 - Do you accept design or review orders? In other words, can someone hire you to tackle those subjects? Or perhaps you could suggest someone you know who would do it. Sometimes there isn't enough time to go through the learning process for more urgent projects, and being able to hire someone that is already experienced would be a massive help. Many thanks for your generosity in sharing your knowledge, either charging for it or not (which you certainly deserve). There are not many people that I admire, but you are in that list. I wish my teachers would have been able to do such a good job as you do.

Wow, thanks for making this available!

This is amazing and will be an invaluable reference piece. Thank you.

I remeber watch the previous versions of this. So glad i found this. Thanks for making it free

I am in the process of designing my first MCU board using Kicad 6. My project is not STM32 based, but I still find that this content is still extremely helpful.

Thank you very much, your course is really excellent! There is a ton of very usefull tips and recommandations. Thanks to you, I'm finally on the road to be better at pcb design!

This is an awesome resource, and so well-executed. Thanks for sharing this gratis!

Very helpful. Thank you . I love your guides about these topics, especially the layers too. The button help is nice too.

Woohoo! Made it through! Thanks! I plan to review it later when actually making a PCB. Hopefully making a PCB soon!!!

Thank you very much for share this course free to everyone, this will help to learn and gain knowledge people like me who can rarely afford to bye it. Big thanks☺

Haven't seen the video yet, but the fact that you've moved it to YT for free gives it a like. Big thanks.

This is one of the best KiCAD tutorial out there, thanks a lot!

Thanks Phil for sharing your knowledge! Your videos are very useful. Love them. Good luck!

Wow, this is a goldmine. Far more useful and to the point than what I learned in college. Will be supporting your patreon. Keep up the amazing tutorials.

Your videos are amazing, thanks to all of your videos I have been able to produce a functional PCB, is it likely perfect? No! But it's massively better than if I had gone and done it with the knowledge I thought I had! It's not very often that I find someone on youtube that posts video after video of just pure knowledge source, kudos to you, the way you teach is amazing.

Perfect video ! Exactly what I was looking for straight to the point !! Much love !

thanks for making it available free. i was overloaded with things to learn and couldn't afford more courses

Such a great learning experience. Thank you so much!

Very helpful video, Phil. Especially appreciate the sequential and complete walk-through and the detailed rationale for the various design decisions. Thank you.

Hey Phil, thank you for your fantastic videos. I started PCB design as a hobby this year and with the help of your YT videos and your mixed-signal course, I was able to design a class D amp from part selection to production. And I would not have been able to complete the project while learning so much. Without dedicated teachers like you, (and many other great content creators) this would not be possible. Thank you! Best Fabian ps: Would love to see a video regarding USB-C standards and PD implementation.

Appreciate the UKposts session. I often need to re-scale or adopt existing designs - changes to PC board size and I/O port locations (or type). Possibly you could cover that, as a specific episode, in the future.

This is now the most important video in my tech play list. I learned so much. KiCad was a mystery to me. I do think the big pcb manufacturers could do more to make their services accessible. This is a full on detailed design but often you just want a basic pcb to cobble some components together. After this video I realise you can do that with KiCad but till now I never used pcb services because I didn't know how to.

Many thanks Phil, for making this free as well as continuing to use both kicad & altium

Built a STM32F078VBTx LQFP100 breakout board based off of this video. This material was hugely informative in that design process. Thanks Phil!

Thank you very much for all of your videos! I have learnt a lot from them.

God! What a good channel this is. I hope I can learn a lot and start designing my own PCB. Thanks a lot for the effort you put into making this content, it's truly appreciated.

This tutorial is just superb, so much information in under two hours!

I already know how to do this, but I still like to watch videos like this as both a refresher and to pick up tips on doing things in ways I hadn't thought of before. Thanks for an informative video with no rock concert in the background!

Brilliant. Thanks a lot. I am just a hobbyist and have always in the past used EasyEDA due to the autorouting and then proceeded to 'clean up' the obvious shortcomings in the autorouter but I can see, thanks to your video here, perhaps routing myself might not be the bear I always thought it would be by following the basic procedures you outline. 👍

Thanks for producing these types of videos, especially with KiCad. Your videos have been very helpful in designing my first PCBs. Hoping to do my first PCB with a microcontroller soon -- when STM32s are back in stock!

These long stm 32 tutorials are what I always look forward to from you. Thank you so much....and I hope you do something about can bus as you promised

Thanks for publishing it!

I learned more from this than in 3 Years of university

This video is amazing. You make it seem so easy

This is so generous. It's truly inspirational.

Fantastic video - this is incredibly helpful!

Thanks for putting this course up on YT. Power packed!

Wonderful tutorial, Phil. Just the right level of detail for the ambitious hobbyist (and no doubt entry-level professionals) like myself. Really appreciate the effort you put into your content, it's presented very clearly, and I really appreciate the way you explain your reasoning for _why_ you're doing particular things, rather than just saying "do this, because". You've definitely earned yourself a sub from me!

Thank you for making this free, I learned a lot, thank you again...

Thank you for all your content. You are amazing.

Huge thanks for making this great tutorial, Phil! I followed along and ordered 5 of these boards from JLC, and guess what -- they're working! It's such an amazement, considering I've never gone any further from various development boards. Now I'm thinking of finishing one of my little projects and actually transfer it to a PCB!

Another great vid Phil. Very informative.

This video worked out great. I had my first boards made and everything worked great. I am watching a second time months later ( cause I forgot most everything ! ) to make my second board. Thanks.

Thank you very much, your course is really excellent!

I was looking into what a Micro Controller was and in 160min of watching this and researching terminology I didn't know, I'm walking away with so much more. Thank you. Subbed.

I wanted a compact course on Kicad, and you delivered the best in one video. Thank you.

Really simple and descriptive explanation. Thanks..

Awesome Phil. What a create tutorial. I come from using Eagle and Diptrace. I noticed Kicad has come a long way in recent years. Thanks for the tutorial. It really helped me out getting started back with this version of Kicad again. I see the community is really large now too.

The king, I wish I had this video a couple of years ago

Fantastic! Thank you for taking the time to make this video.

I always look forward to your videos! You are a generous educator!

I'm in computer science industry for years, but my dream since I was a child is to design and build REAL devices, you can touch, not only a code. This video opened my eyes, what possibilities exist today! My dream will come true soon!! Many thanks Phil for that!

Thank you for posting this course. I'm tinkering on an Arduino project that needs a more professional design. This is the solution. 👍The presentation here is clear and easy to follow.

Thank you sooo much this course helped me a lot

Wonderful content and very pleasant to watch. Please keep up this great work, as I see it benefit a lot of people!

CRAZY VID!!!!!! all the steps. Thank you!

Masterful. Thank you, this is really helpful.

the same degree as what you finished in, electrical and electronics eng. the way you explain things in these tutorials is awesome, gets curiosity flowing again as opposed to listening to slow mono tone lecturers explaining one thing for two hours straight. Here we can see what were doing and why, and actually have something built. awesome, super helpful

Thank you Phil

Great tutorial. awsome work.

Very good useful tutorial, ty phil👍🏻

This is the best tutorial on KiCad, it got me started very quickly to design my own pcb. Thank you Phil!

This is one of the best videos I have watched recently. This is what YT should be like

The way you teach this stuff is impressive! highly talented.

Thank you Phil.

In today's world of parts shortages, choosing your footprints will probably involve checking to see what size packages the required parts are actually available in. You might for example find that you'd have to go with 08' sized capacitors and resistors because they were not available in the 04' or 06' sized packages. Similarly the microcontroller might be available in a QFN footprint and not a QFTP package. Of course there are certain pad layouts that can fit multiple sized parts. In the case of the microcontroller, it might be possible to 'nest' footprints so two different packages could be fit on the same layout.

Thank you so much Phil for this amazing video course👏

thanks a lot, man, this is very helpful, I did get a hardware design job 6 months ago and I was not very knowledgeable on the PCB design field, your videos were very helpful and got me through my first design. very appreciated

Thanks for this. I've recently delved into a role where I can no longer afford to be just "the software guy" and this is a huge help. Loved the bit about schematic notes. Very important, especially when transferring tech from one organization to another. A schematic without notes is like code without comments explaining why the software was designed/written as it was, or requirements with no rationale!

Very good video that covers all the steps of making a PCB. Thanks..

Very cool! I am an old timer. I started with the 8 bit 6502 in 1977 then an Apple ][ computer in 1978. I am now retired but still doing DSP with modern chips. I remember solving diirereential equations on my Apple ][ using Apple Pascal. It would take two days to get a solution .. if convergence to a unique solution!!! Thank you !

Very nice video, superb narration, clear instructions, not too much detail and not too little, thanks

Another great Tutorial...cheers.

THIS VIDEO IS VERY HELP FOR, KEEP DOING THIS BROTHER

I had no idea software like this existed. You make it look easy and to be fair for simple it is by the looks of it. I knew the PCB houses existed but never put two and two together for some reason LOL. The end cost is also crazy cheap!

Phil, your content is astoundingly useful, first year in EEE here, thank you.

this is amazing. thank you

Excited to follow this tutorial!

This channel is a gem! Love your content.

This is awesome!!! Thank you sir

Amazing ! Thank you !!!

very beautiful explanation to understand

So many good videos! Excellent job sharing your experience and knowledge. Thanks.
