Thank you for your kind words, to become good at PCB layout I suggest you get familiar with the famous software packages and practice. Learning electronics basics is also very important because your main "customers" will be electronic engineers so it is key to speak their language. The requirements are different per industry, so you may need to pick a direction. Power supply or lighting (my specialty) has different requirements than digital design (phone/android box etc) . Wish you good luck and much fun in your career!
@smartpowerelectronics8779 Жыл бұрын
My major is power electronics, if would start now I would go for software (embedded or application all is ok). For PCB layout, suggest to get familiar with more systems and some analog electronics so you can imagine what the design engineer needs. Please consider (my opinion) that PCB layout engineer is a quite narrow field with job stability but not many career options.

The Y axis distance between J1 and J2 for the ATtiny25 pins to fit well is 7.62 mm apart, They're going to fit anyway, if anyone was wandering becasue of the design, but an exact 7.62 mm will give a nice snug fit. Then choose between the chip and the SMD as you desire with no issues.

I'm trying to connect D1(1) to R1(1) but it only lets me connect to R1(2), pls reply if u know how to fix, is it flipped on schematic editor? bc i cant tell bc its symmetrical. Edit: Ok i just fixed it by flipping it, there were also other issues with wiring that i fixed by moving the wired around Edit: also what is the difference between this and the "make your own digispark USb in the description:

On the USB connector, I believe Data - (minus) should be adjacent to +5V, and Data + (plus) should be adjacent to Gnd. I also think the footprint would be a better fit to the mating female connector if the distance between pad 4 and pad 3 was reduced from 1mm to .75mm, and the distance between pad 1 and pad 2 was reduced from 1mm to .75mm, while maintaining the distance between pad 2 and pad 3 at .5mm.

Are you sure you are not Chuck? ;-) For D+/D- you are right! D- is next to Vcc. The schematic symbol is wrong, the PCB is correct. Fortunately it was correct in the Video about the DYI Digispark (kzbin.info/www/bejne/jqioi6mXfN5-eqc) For the mechanical dimensions I used a USB drive as an example. I made a digital photo next to a ruler, enlarged the photo and copied the dimensions. I have searched for a standard for this PCB type USB-A foot print, but did not find any.

Initially it was cause I didn't give the Conn_01x04 some footprints as I missed what footprints to give as you decided to speed up the video, speeding up is fine however maybe mention that the "specifications" for parts are in the description. Even after applying the footprint you have given and a random one to the LED, they look completely different compared to what you have - so I decided to stop. Maybe an update to this video to clear up things?

Thank you Very much sir. Make more and longer projects with saying how to decide width of wiring before start instead press after we draw.
