#165

A step-by-step guide to creating a PCB using EasyEDA (for design), LCSC (for components) and JLCPCB (for the board). Part 2 of 2.

We welcome you to meet with JLCPCB at Booth 8.F43 on Maker Faire Rome (18-20 Oct), and Get Coupons & Special Gifts for Free.

In the previous video #164 we created a simple schematic (circuit diagram) using EasyEDA - and it really was easy! If you haven't watched it yet, here's the link:    • #164 From Circuit Diagram to PCB - Pa...  

In this video, having checked all components' values and footprints we dive into creating the PCB and ordering it via JLCPCB.

I'm skipping various optional steps that we might otherwise take in creating a PCB and showing just the fundamentals here - something you can practice until you are ready to actually take the plunge!

I know it's going to sound like a huge advert for the three products/services involved but it would do, wouldn't it? If I didn't like these products I would not use them myself and I certainly would not promote them. If you follow this demo to its end then you can always switch to your preferred supplier of components and PCBs. But for quality and price of both components and PCBs I can vouch for both LCSC and JLCPCB here.

You even get a sneak peek at a partially assembled PCB by JCLPCB using LCSC components - more of that in a future video! [Update: I've just tested it - works like a dream, thank you LCSC/JLCPCB!]

You'll probably have some technical questions, comments and constructive suggestions - all are welcome and I'll respond over the next week or so, as I hope others do too. We can all learn from one another.
