Description
Learn the most popular atmega328 microcontroller and design the Printed circuit board and work on real world examples. After completing this course you will be able to design your own custom board based on the arduino based microcontroller. You will aslo learn about component ordering, uploading gerber files and send it to the manufacturer, Testing the hardware board, uploading the code the board. Learn the KiCAD 6 Version.Learning Outcomes:1. What is PCB: PCB terminology and keywords. Understand the printed circuit board (PCB) and different layers in it. Types of PCBs based on different layers. Types of components present on the PCB and their size and shapes. Learn about the packages of the components.2. Schematic Design: Learn the schematic editor and how you can place and search for the components, Symbols used for different components. Pins and connection of the components, Work on Annotation and Electrical rules check. Assign footprint to the symbols used. How you can create the schematic section by section as power circuit, microcontroller circuit and USB to UART interface. Datasheet of the components and their mechanical dimensions. Communication protocols.3. PCB Layout and Routing: Basic setting of the editor, Placement of the components based on some rules, use the  freerouting software to route the tracks, silkscreen layer, do the DRC(Design rule check). How you can solve the errors in DRC and how you can change the footprint. How you can work on different layers, board outline and 3D view of the PCBs.4. PCB Manufacturing: Generate the gerber files and upload this gerber files to the PCB Manufacturer. Also you will get to know on how PCB manufacturer provide the component procurement, assembly and soldering service.5. Soldering and Testing the PCB: Soldering and testing the circuits based on the schematic design. Understand through hole and SMD components. Tools which are essential for soldering and working on testing tools like multimeter and power supply.6. Uploading the code: Blink an onboard led by programming the atmega328 using the mini USB. Understand the ch340g as USB to UART interface. You can connect sensor to this board or you can even connect oled display, leds, analog and digital sensors etc. Work on tons of projects with this board. Once can even modify this PCB according to their project requirements. Create exciting projects with this course.
