Description
Hello Dear Student ,
I welcome you , for Enrolling this Course .
This is basically a Beginners Course with Basic Level Content focused on PCB Design using EasyEDA , a Free & On-Line PCB Design Software and it covers Content with 1-Layer , 2-Layer Through Hole type & SMT type PCB Design & also Multi-layer ( 4-Layer ) PCB Design , as a beginner's reference suitable for Electronics Polytechnic , Engineering & University Students & Hobbyists .
Apart from PCB Design content , Added introductory level content of VHDL Programming using Xilinx ISE Webpack Software a Free Downloadable Software , which may be complementary Content for Electronics Students .
All the Content of this Course are based on Free Softwares & either OnLine Or downloadable Softwares for Design / Programming .
1. PCB Design ( 1 Layer , 2 Layer & Multilayer 4 Layer PCB Design Examples ) using a OnLine & Free PCB Design Software “EasyEDA” ,
2. VHDL Programming using Xilinx ISE Webpack , a Free Downloadable Software ( After Registering Your Account with Xilinx Website ) .
At the beginning , the Course Title was “ Step by Step PCB Design for Electronics Projects ” , a Course in PCB Design for Beginner Level .
My approach is to continuously add & update the Content of this Course , so-that it may be helpful specifically to Electronics Polytechnic , Engineering , University Students & also to Hobbyists .
Course Update 1st : ( Feb. 2021 ) : Added Content : VHDL Programming Examples using Xilinx ISE Webpack software .
Course Published ( In Aug. 2020 ) : Content of PCB Design using EasyEDA OnLine PCB Design Software .
Description : This PCB Design Course are developed using a very Popular EasyEDA PCB Design Software , which is a Free , Web based ( OnLine ) Tool & it has huge Components & Part Library. EasyEDA PCB Tool supports to Windows platform , Linux O.S. & also runs on Mac & Android platforms,as long as there is one browser on the O.S. & connecting to Internet.
Video Contents for every stages for Professional PCB Designs are explained with separate & Short Video sessions in a simple way for better understanding,even for the Beginners .
- Schematic Design Stage
- PCB Layout Design Guidelines ( Component Placement Guidelines )
- PCB Layout Design ( Component Placement Stage )
- PCB Design Guidelines ( Track Routing Guidelines , DRCs )
- PCB Design ( Track Routing Stage )
After observing Video sessions & also for the practice purpose , I have added the PDF / Text Documents , called as - “Quick Reference Guide” , which explains the Step by Step Designing Procedure for Single Layer , Double Layer & MultiLayer PCBs for some Examples . Separate Quick Reference Guide is provided to each type of PCBs .
Some Quiz / MCQs – Multiple Choice Questions are also incorporated by adding the separate Document for its Answer Key .
