Course content

2 sections21 lectures2h 15m total length
  • Section Intro0:44
  • What You will learn2:14

    Learn to design, draw, and test electronic circuits using ISIS and ARES, from installation and basic tools to creating and routing a PCB for mass production.

  • Who We Are5:23

    Meet the educational engineering team, a mechatronics and electronics group with over 12 years of teaching and practical projects, delivering real-world pcb design, circuit design, and fabrication guidance.

  • Introduction Prestart Defentions1:15

    Use the protos package to design, draw, and simulate circuits with ISIS, then create a printed circuit board in Eris by placing components and routing traces for production.

  • Design Kickoff Meeting: Proposing a PCB Layout Strategy
  • Installing the Required Software Proteus4:15

    Learn to download and install Proteus demonstration from Lab Center Electronics, accept the license, customize the install, run the demo, and create a new ISIS file for learning electronics.

  • Basic introduction to Proteus ISIS interface and Tools5:47

    Create a new project in Proteus ISIS and explore toolbars, menus, and the main work area, including 3D visualization and circuit measurement.

  • Design Draw and Test your First Simple Circuit5:02

    Design and simulate a simple circuit in ISIS by adding LEDs, resistors, a switch, and a ground, wiring components, applying five volts, and running the simulation.

  • Introducing Some Techniques to Master ISIS3:42

    Copy elements as blocks and use block copy to duplicate circuits in ISIS, then edit item properties like forward voltage. Generate a bill of materials to plan PCB assembly.

  • Create Your Own Electric Element in ISIS Proteus6:01

    Create a custom 28-pin IC element in ISIS Proteus, draw its outline, and add pins to a library for reuse in PCB design; for final production, not simulation.

  • Design Draw and Test a more advanced Circuit8:04

    Design, draw, and test an advanced circuit with an LCD, a PIC microcontroller, resistors, pushbuttons, crystals, and capacitors; use default connections to simplify wiring and prepare the PCB for production.

  • Basic Introduction to ARES interface and tools6:25

    Explore the iris interface for PCB design, learning to use autoroute, track, and package modes to connect elements, and switch between metric and imperial dimensions.

  • Preparing ISIS Circuit Design to be moved to ARES5:30

    Standardize ISIS circuit names before moving to ARES, renaming grounds to VSS and 5V nets to VD, assign PCB packages, and prepare components for PCB layout.

  • Placing Elements the right way in ARES5:41

    Place the lcd and microcontroller first, then fit capacitors, resistors, and buttons close with adjusted pad sizes. Rotate parts to prevent shorts and follow the green nets.

  • Start Routing in Different Ways11:02

    Master routing PCB elements with manual and automatic methods, using design manager, T40 configurations, and top covers and bottom covers, and learn how routing resolves conflicts to connect LCD footprints.

  • Finalize Your Circuit for mass production7:19

    Finalize your circuit for mass production by defining board borders with the board edge, reviewing dimensions, correcting design rule errors, and previewing the 3d visualizer for accuracy.

  • Print PCB Design on Heat Paper3:19

    Master print PCB design on heat paper, improving efficiency and effectiveness as you pick it up and keep everything under control.

  • PCB Board Cleaning and Etching14:41

    Learn practical pcb board cleaning and etching techniques to achieve reliable circuit boards and high-quality manufacturing outcomes. Explore best practices for preparation, process control, and quality assurance.

  • Drilling4:00

    Examine themes of treatment, epidemic, and duty as they surface in the lecture caption, referencing fentanyl and abandonment.

  • Section Summary0:31
  • Reading Material0:26
  • Design Review Session: Presenting Your Completed PCB Layout

Requirements

  • A passion for electronics
  • Basic knowledge of electronics (optional for beginners)
  • Access to a PC or laptop
  • Proteus Software (included in the course resources)
