Learn PCB Design By Designing an Arduino Nano in Altium
What you'll learn
- Create an design a custom Arduino Nano in Altium Designer
- Create their own custom components and component library
- Draw the schematic of an Arduino Nano and wire components
- Compile design detect and eliminate design errors
- Define board shape and size
- Route Printed Circuit Board (PCB)
- Use to the autorouting capabilities to speed up the routing process
- Use design rule checker to eliminate errors and reduce manufacturing board iterations
Requirements
- A decently fast internet connection to download once-off +-3 Gigabytes file for Altium Designer (I show you where to download Altium Designer).
- Time, Dedication and Patience to learn and implement new knowledge.
- A PC that meets the minimum requirements of Altium Designer - Windows 7/8/10 32-bit Intel® Core™ i3 processor or equivalent 4 GByte RAM 3.5 GByte hard disk space (Install + User Files) Intel integrated graphics HD4000 or equivalent, supporting DirectX 9.0c and Shader model 3 (or later) Main monitor 1280x1024 screen resolution, Adobe® Reader® (8 or later) Internet Connection Up to date Web browser Microsoft Excel (required for Bill of Materials templates)
- A licence or 30 day trial licence (I show you how to obtain a FREE 30 day trial licence) This course can be completed in less than 15 Days if you are persistent. The 30 days also serves as motivation so you do not procrastinate in your goal to finish this course

What is this course about:
This course is a first of its kind in which you will learn from start to finish on how to design your very own custom Arduino Printed Circuit Board (PCB). This course will help you to improve your PCB design skills which will help you to get started freelancing or to get a job in PCB design with Altium Designer being one of the top PCB design tools used around the world.
What is expect in this course:
I will show you how to get started in the world of PCB design using Altium Designer
I show you how to download and install Altium designer as well as demystify the user interface.
I take you step-by-step on how to create your own component library so that you can create your own components if you need to. (very high possibility that you will need to create your own components)
Show you how to add 3D models to components and show you a website where you can find all the component models in one place.
How to recreate the Arduino Nano Schematic in Altium designer as well as wiring components in Schematic view
I show you how to transfer your schematic into PCB view as well as define the board shape
Once the board shape is defined, I show you how to place components on the board, create a multi-layer board ( we are going to use 4-6 layers) .
For a 6 layer board, I teach you how to route between layers and how to strategically place components on to the board design.
Show you how to auto-route, when you are faced with a complex design to save time.
Correct your design and eliminate design errors before sending them to your manufacturer. This will save you money for numerous design iterations
Finally I teach you how to create Gerber files, which are files that your manufacturer can read to create your Printed Circuit Board.
This course will be updated regularly with new lectures, resources, quizzes and content.
Money-Back Guarantee
The course comes with an unconditional, Udemy-backed, 30-day money-back guarantee. This is not just a guarantee, it's my personal promise to you that I will go out of my way to help you succeed just like I've done for thousands of my other students.
Who this course is for:
- Learn basic to intermediate PCB design
- Want to create your own custom Arduino Printed Circuit Board (PCB).
- Want to get a job in PCB design
- Want to learn Altium Designer in the shortest possible time.
- Want to get started creating cool gadgets
- Have a tech kickstarter idea, that you want to get of the ground

So a bit about me, Ritesh Kanjee: I've graduated from University of Johannesburg as an Electronic Engineer with a Masters in Image Processing and 4 years ago I started my online school called Augmented Startups where I have over 68'000 subscribers on YouTube and over 47'000 students on Augmented AI Bootcamp/Udemy.
I’ve worked with popular tools such as TensorFlow Keras, Open CV, and PyTorch and I’ve also produced High ranking tutorials that feature on Google and YouTube. My Machine Learning Series is also one of the most viewed videos, over 300 thousand views and you’ll find them ranked right at the top on YouTube search results.
From my tutorials, I have received a lot of great feedback and testimonials from students all around the world, I will share those reviews towards the end of the video
And I have also presented at international conferences and meetups in AI. For industry standard AI, I have partnered up with Geeky Bee AI who are Experts in the field in AI and Deep Learning and have experience developing AI apps for real world applications.
