----------------------------------------------
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 Tiny 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 CircuitMaker being one of the top FREE 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 CircuitMaker
  • I show you how to download and install Altium CircuitMaker as well as demystify the user interface.
  • I take you step-by-step on how to find and download the component library for the Tiny Arduino.
  • How to recreate the Arduino Nanite Schematic in Altium CircuitMaker as well as wiring components in Schematic view
  • I show you how to transfer your schematic into PCB view as well as define the board shape
  • Once the board shape is defined, I show you how to place components on the board, create a multilayer board ( we are going to use 4-6 layers) .
  • For a 4 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 autoroute, 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 iterations
  • Finally 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.
Who this course is for:
  • Learn basic to intermediate PCB design
  • Want to create your own custom Tiny Arduino Printed Circuit Board (PCB).
  • Want to get a job in PCB design
  • Want to learn Altium CircuitMaker in the shortest possible time.
  • Want to get started creating cool gadgets.
  • Have a tech kickstarter idea, that you want to get of the ground.
  • Become a Maker.

So a bit about me, Ritesh Kanjee: I've graduated from University of Johannesburg as an Electronic Engineer with a Masters in Image Processing and 4 years ago I started my online school called Augmented Startups where I have over 50 000 subscribers on YouTube and over 42 000 students on Augmented AI Bootcamp/Udemy.
I've worked with popular tools such as TensorFlow Keras, Open CV, and PyTorch and I've also produced High ranking tutorials that feature on Google and YouTube. My Machine Learning Series is also one of the most viewed videos, over 200 thousand views and you'll find them ranked right at the top on YouTube search results.
From my tutorials, I have received a lot of great feedback and testimonials from students all around the world, I will share those reviews towards the end of the video
And I have also presented at international conferences and meetups in AI. For industry standard AI, I have partnered up with Geeky Bee AI who are Experts in the field in AI and Deep Learning and have experience developing AI apps for real world applications.

The course is excellent. But I didn't like the software. It's not easy to use, has a lot of bugs, and a very poor environment. My laptop has decent specs but still, it lags a lot.
I tried Eagle free version and it came out to be outstanding. That's why took an Eagle course available on udemy and now enjoying a lot.
Moving from Circuit maker to Eagle feel like I get a ton of power and speed.
So, if you like Circuit Maker and worked on it, this course is definitely for you. But, if you are new to PCB design, think twice.

Yes, I needed the Project-beginning-to-end approach

By Reeshu Singh on 5/23/2020

it was good but it somewhere lacked details oh how did few steps that was visible but we could not understand what button he pressed to do that. also, he must have done every step with the reasoning in much detail that why its done. overall,it was quite a knowlegable course.

A great introduction to a powerful free tool for hobbyists and makers. Definitely worth the time and money!

By Teck Lin Ang on 1/24/2020

So far the lectures are easy to follow. The instructor taught in a step by step manner, without skipping steps. That's why it is easy to follow.

This is not a course for beginners of pcb design. It is waaay to complex pcb for a beginner, at least in regards to the size of the course. I think the course could have been much better if an easier design was choosen.
Best practice in PCB-design isn't followed either, for example:
- Using advanced PCB technologies such as blind vias without mentioning it. This can be pricey and a lot of manufacturers actually won't accept it.
- Not keeping distance to the border of the pcb, might give problems with short-circuit between layers... not good.
- Using auto-router instead of manual routing when there is 13 components. Would have been much more interesting course to learn routing. Also fixes a lot of routing errors fast and without good explanations.
I learned a few things with CircuitMaker, but I would not recommend this course to anyone.

Great course to get familiar with the software. There is some differences in the software that was a bit annoying, but if you search around you can find out how to do the same actions covered in the exercise. I would really like to see a post on uploading to any pcb manufacturer site and negotiating differences to fit their process or nomenclature. If you are not sure, just take the course. It is very short, but you will have real usable skills by the time you are done and can build your own board. Maybe try jlcb pcb for small protos as they can be cheap for practice boards.

Pretty good. Good pace

By Petr punar on 11/1/2018

Very good intro for me to PCB design.

By Tyler J Patterson on 8/8/2018

Very informative course and I feel like I have a good introductory understanding of PCB design.

Excelent!

By Andrea Caiaffa on 7/18/2018

Questo corso fornisce informazioni molto utili a chi desidera apprendere le basi della progettazione di PCB, che possono essere applicate ad altro applicativi oltre CircuitMaker.
Il ritmo piuttosto veloce e bisognerebbe avere un minimo di conoscenze sui componenti elettronici e come si legge uno schema elettrico.
