I am now retired but spent 45 years in electronics hardware design including many years designing PCBs mainly using Altium. I am now starting to use KiCAD for my home projects so was looking for tutorials which would help me pick up KiCAD. Phil's video is an excellent tutorial for the methodology of the PCB layout process an well the specifics of KiCAD. It includes many of the detailed nuances of the design process and captures many of the compromises that have to be made whilst covering component placement priorities dictates by signal crosstalk, track inductance and stray capacitance. I will certainly be looking at other videos he has made. Well done!

@@PhilsLab I found the PCB layout process one of the most challenging aspects of electronics design when one has to consider signal integrity, thermal management whilst fitting within very restrained mechanical packaging. You do an excellent job of presenting this challenge! After many years I am still waiting for an auto-place or auto-route application that goes anywhere near what is required in real life! I don't know whether AI will provide an answer.

Another great new feature in KICAD 7 is the pack feature. Just highlight the parts in your schematic you want to place next (e.g. a whole block like RF or USB-C), switch to the PCB Editor window and press "P". This will automatically group the selected parts on your cursor and you can drag them wherever you want. Great video!

@@PhilsLab I'm absolutely sure that they are! I would also be interested in your opinion about thermal relief SMD pad connection vs. same-net-island_but-no-thermal-relief connection to SMD pads. This is because I believe the latter could more often lead to tombstone'd SMD parts due to unequal heat dispersion capabilities with reference to opposite ends of a two pin SMD component for example. There were examples for both in this video of yours, so I would be interested to know your opinion about the methods. Maybe others could benefit from your response as well? Thanks!

Considering the fact that half of my projects were less than $50 (including components and enclosure), I would say that unless it is required by technology or design is very complex, I always to try to route pcb in 2 layers first.

Phil, i really really hope this content gets good views for you (the work you put in is incredible as always)!!! Appreciate the youtube algorithm may not be friendly with these long form videos, and you are relying on subs to watch (which they will as thats why we sub!). I've always LOVED your content so please keep on the good work! Something I really liked was when you made the m.2 card. Would really love to see more of the 'high end' stuff like pcie implementations (now the pi 5 has a pci breakout - 2 lane - i could see a 'market' for people wanting more info on things they make for themselves using it rather than relying on hats). Have you ever thought about CM4 carrier board design as it has the mix of matching B2B connector layouts, pci, usb, etc.. however do appreciate your main knowledge base is STM32. I find all your content so therapeutic! I know you use the Tag connect pogo pin thing but any tips of homebrewing it as the official ones are stupidly expensive for what they are £40+ for some ribbon cable, 6 pogo pins and cheap molded plastic... we know the cost price to tag-connect is gonna be cheap like £1-5....

Thank you very much! Surprisingly, these long-form KiCad videos typically perform far better in terms of views compared to shorter ones/different topics. I have a number of more advanced/non-STM32 vids on the channel, also touching on PCIe routing with FPGAs. But I agree, a carrier board for a CM4 or NVidia SBC would make for interesting content - thanks for the suggestion! Regarding Tag-Connect, the upfront cost may seem high, but the practicality of the cables, ease-of-use, not needing headers on boards makes up for it many, many times in my opinion. Thanks for your support!

The 'rule of thumb' is to never break up/interrupt the ground pours. But there are times (definitely seen it on professional boards) where you very much want seperated ground planes (I think this is for thing where there is a seperate analogue ground). I dont think I've seen many people cover pcb layout design where you really do want separate planes and like super uber use of via stiching etc.. is it one of those areas of knowledge like 'you KNOW when you need to do it because you have the specific special expertise to know about it' and basically every other time, without fault, you don't have split planes. Other than the PCB antenna video you made a bit back have you any other experience with PCB RF filters? I only ask as it seems usual for the layout team to be a seperate group from the schematic and design teams, and it seems like they may not have the 'full' knowledge of how to design such rf stuff (ie the calcs and knowing what needs to be done etc to waht signals etc) but still need to then layout and route it..... which sounds 'fun'...... I assume the schematic team and company as a whole would have custom footprints and the pcb layout team just need to lay them out even if they don't fully know how they work

Thanks for great content Phil. Soon Kicad 8 will be out and you get to make it again :) I have a question on how the component sourcing works in practice. You specify parts from Mouser in germany in your BOM and PcbWay will source them. But do they just source the few components needed for your boards? Don't they need to order full reels of components for their PnP machines? For example the USB connector you specified, if they don't have it in stock, how do they go about that? Also, can PcbWay source components from LCSC? Wouldn't this be much cheaper since AFAIK they keep large stocks of components from various manufactureres, and they're located in china. A wish you a merry christmas!

Thanks for watching! Haha yeah, KiCad 8 vid will have to be made soon! Since PCBWay handles many orders at a time, they will combine and order 'in bulk' from various distributors to get parts together for various customers in parallel. Yes, they can source from pretty much any vendor (incl. LCSC). Happy holidays!
