Learn Pcb Design By Designing An Arduino Nano In Altium

Learn Printed Circuit Board (PCB) design by creating your own Arduino Nano in Altium Designer.

What you'll learn
Create an design a custom Arduino Nano in Altium Designer
Create their own custom components and component library
Draw the schematic of an Arduino Nano and wire components
Compile design detect and eliminate design errors
Define board shape and size
Route Printed Circuit Board (PCB)
Use to the autorouting capabilities to speed up the routing process
Use design rule checker to eliminate errors and reduce manufacturing board iterations
Requirements
A decently fast internet connection to download once-off +-3 Gigabytes file for Altium Designer (I show you where to download Altium Designer).
Time, Dedication and Patience to learn and implement new knowledge.
A PC that meets the minimum requirements of Altium Designer - Windows 7/8/10 32-bit Intel® Core™ i3 processor or equivalent 4 GByte RAM 3.5 GByte hard disk space (Install + User Files) Intel integrated graphics HD4000 or equivalent, supporting DirectX 9.0c and Shader model 3 (or later) Main monitor 1280x1024 screen resolution, Adobe® Reader® (8 or later) Internet Connection Up to date Web browser Microsoft Excel (required for Bill of Materials templates)
A licence or 30 day trial licence (I show you how to obtain a FREE 30 day trial licence) This course can be completed in less than 15 Days if you are persistent. The 30 days also serves as motivation so you do not procrastinate in your goal to finish this course
Description
Course Update:Note! This course price will increase to  $200 as of 1st June 2020 from $190. The price will increase regularly  due to updated content. Get this course while it is still low.
……………………………………………What is this course about:This course is a first of its kind in which you will learn from start to finish on how to design your very own custom Arduino Printed Circuit Board (PCB). This course will help you to improve your PCB design skills which will help you to get started freelancing or to get a job in PCB design with Altium Designer being one of the top PCB design tools used around the world. What is expect in this course:I will show you how to get started in the world of PCB design using Altium DesignerI show you how to download and install Altium designer as well as demystify the user interface.I take you step-by-step on how to create your own component library so that you can create your own components if you need to. (very high possibility that you will need to create your own components)Show you how to add 3D models to components and show you a website where you can find all the component models in one place.How to recreate the Arduino Nano Schematic in Altium designer as well as wiring components in Schematic viewI show you how to transfer your schematic into PCB view as well as define the board shapeOnce the board shape is defined, I show you how to place components on the board, create a multi-layer board ( we are going to use 4-6 layers) .For a 6 layer board, I teach you how to route between layers and how to strategically place components on to the board design.Show you how to auto-route, when you are faced with a complex design to save time.Correct your design and eliminate design errors before sending them to your manufacturer.  This will save you money for numerous design iterationsFinally I teach you how to create Gerber files, which are files that your manufacturer can read to create your Printed Circuit Board.This course will be updated regularly with new lectures, resources, quizzes and content.Money-Back GuaranteeThe course comes with an unconditional, Udemy-backed, 30-day money-back guarantee. This is not just a guarantee, it's my personal promise to you that I will go out of my way to help you succeed just like I've done for thousands of my other students.
