Welcome to part 2 of our two-part PCB tutorial series! In part 1, we covered how to create a schematic diagram of your circuit design. Now, in part 2, we will focus on how to draw the PCB layout using a CAD software. The tutorial will cover the following topics: 1. Introduction to PCB layout and the importance of good design practices 2. Importing the netlist from the schematic 3. Placing components on the PCB and arranging them for optimal layout 4. Routing the connections between the components using traces and vias 5. Adding copper pour and ground planes for improved signal integrity 6. Checking the design for errors and fixing them 7. Generating the manufacturing files for the PCB By the end of this tutorial, you will have a complete PCB layout that is ready to be manufactured. We hope that this tutorial series has been informative and useful for your PCB design projects. Happy designing!

Ready to take your circuit designs to the next level? IEEE Concordia brings you: Printed Circuit Board Design using KiCad! What is PCB design? PCB design is the placement of components and their connections inside a delimited space using a computer-aided design software. IMPORTANT INFORMATION - No previous experience required. - For this event, you have to bring your own laptop. - Download KiCad BEFORE the tutorial, you can get your free copy at https://www.kicad.org/download/ In this two-part PCB tutorial series, you will learn how to design a printed circuit board (PCB) starting with the schematic drawing of your circuit. Part 1 will focus on creating the schematic diagram, which is the foundation for the layout and design of your PCB. PART 1 – INTRO TO SCHEMATIC DESIGN: - Introduction to PCB design - Overview of the schematic diagram and its importance in PCB design - Creating a new project and adding components to the schematic - Connecting components using nets and wires - Adding labels, values, and annotations to the schematic - Checking the schematic for errors and fixing them - Generating a netlist and saving the schematic file By the end of part 1, you will have a complete schematic diagram of your circuit design, ready to be imported into a PCB layout software for the next step in the PCB design process. Stay tuned for part 2, where we will cover PCB layout and routing!
