Beginners guide to PCB design with EasyEda Part 2

[@TheSwartz]

Part 1 and 2 have been absolutely excellent. Exactly what this complete newb needed. THANKS

[@almostanengineer]

It's a good tutorial, but might have been an idea to put the cam overlay in the bottom right instead :)

[@Chickey]

Thanks Daniel, i sadly realised that after i'd captured all the footage which is why i went back and recorded footage separately of selecting key things and overlayed it on the footage. Could have honestly kicked myself.

Excellent walkthrough, thank you. This is a great start for me.

Glad it helped!

Great little guide Colin, thanks for putting this together--its given me the kickstart I needed! :)

[@Chickey]

Thank you for the kind words!

Nice job Colin. New to this and it was very helpful.

Thank you for these videos. I've been very frustrated trying to learn this on my own and the company provided videos are horrible. Your videos are perfect.

[@ytnax]

Love it! The only thing I would suggest, would be to put your PIP on bottom left corner and smaller. Just because I could not tell what you were clicking up on the right top corner. Nonetheless, BRILLIANT friend!

[@CouldUseARide]

Thanks for the tutorial! This was super helpful for a circuit knob like me haha. I'm trying to build a new PCB for my RGB fibre optic lamp so that it's powered by 5V micro USB instead of 3 AAA batteries which die after 4 hours lol.

[@kce_ruby6897]

Hey Colin! hopefully you see this. just want to say: you are very helpful, thank you a lot.

[@Chickey]

Thank you very much it’s really nice to know work is appreciated, I have new content coming out soon I promise!

[@Beansswtf]

These videos were really useful. Thank You.

[@bipolarchemist]

And a note on the PIP placement I noticed in the last video, it covers up your palette which might make things a little more difficult to follow for people not familiar with EasyEDA. Case in point, when you were discussing the board layers, what you were doing wasn't visible. Aside from that, a nice tutorial. I wish this was around when I decided to play with EasyEDA (what feels like)years ago. Looking forward to Part 3.

[@Chickey]

I had captured some extra footage and thought i had overlaid that on the right, i must have missed it out of the edit. It ended up taking quite some time to edit and i got sick of my own voice in the end lol

[@bipolarchemist]

I can imagine. Yet another aspect of being on youtube that is quite unappealing to this part-time maker.

[@Chickey]

hmx really appreciate the comment. I took quite a while filming this. I know it’s only 34mins or so in total but was so much more footage and reshot bits a few times and truly could have kicked myself over certain things but it’s all a learning experience.

[@Apollo-p1l]

Never see the point of overlaying cams of people talking on instructional videos, people are looking at what you are doing on the main screen not you. It seems very popular amongst some youtubers but I cant work out why. Maybe its a case of because you can? Anyway very good well explained video nonetheless.

[@wv_]

What do you think about Dave Jones intro to pcb design? He basically says never use metric and only use mils/thou except for manufacturing dimensions like board dimensions and drill holes.

[@syfr]

Very nice work. Thank you for doing this.

[@Chickey]

My pleasure!

Hi Colin, when you select the PCB board colour in EasyEDA (on any PCB design software) is that type of information included in the exported files you would send to the manufacturer? Or, do the exported files only contain the basic connection and layout data, and anything to do with aesthetics is up to what you and the manufacturer agree on?

[@FragBenitez]

You need to specify to the manufacturer what board color you need (that info is not includen with the Gerber files you provide as far as I know)

[@RixtronixLAB]

Nice info, well done, thanks for sharing it :)

[@mertcapkin7263]

Thanks for the videos! I have one question though: I did exactly the same steps, but all the components (resistor, LED and capacitor) are SMD instead of THT. How can I change this?

[@pcbdesignhub1847]

[@roxby1407]

thanks for the great video! im just started with elctronics. why does the dc power supply jack got 3 pins? 5V, ground and the third is?

[@Chickey]

the third pin is another ground if memory serves.

[@100roberthenry]

hi man, how you place your parts so they snap to the grid?

[@fuelforfear]

Hi Colin thanks for your videos I am trying to learn how to wire things and you have been a great help. Can you take a second to answer a question. Do you need to install the DC1 to provide power to the Wemos? or can you just run a USB mini to the Wemos direct? thanks in advance

[@Chickey]

Hi you can supply power to the wemos direct on the 5v pin if required.

[@momolosi1689]

Thanks for your time Colin, Just your camera hides most of the menu :) I think I became a PCB Pro-designer thanks to you.

[@Chickey]

Nice work! and yes sadly my face got in the way and i know there is really no need for the face cam but had wanted to make it a bit more personal. part 4 shall be out soon so will look into a better solution.

Can you buy standardised schematics? Say if I wanted to build a reverb circuit for a DIY guitar pedal. Thanks. Great content.

[@oplkfdhgk]

Oh so that is what auto route means :D i have been looking it in the menu and wondering what it does :D but i never tried it :D pretty cool :p

[@Chickey]

I saw a good overview recently where it mentions that it still has it's place as even when your manually routing the autoroute could give you an idea or highlight bottlenecks that you have which you may have issues routing around.

This is a great tutorial. But can't se what your doing up in the right corner. No need to se you in a window that take up 1/6 of the screen.

[@Chickey]

Hi, thank you for the comment. As you can see many people mentioned this. I shall consider a different layout in the future.

[@marcobassini3576]

The cap near the jack barrel is useless. It must be placed close to the load (on the opposite side of the board)!! And yet you pretend to teach others how to make a PCB.

[@richardamswetyjesus8017]

Any time, Jesus will reach me there. thank you.
