How to make your own PCB

I've learned how to make circuit boards, and I'm sharing that!

This 20 minute video is short for a full tutorial but will give you the big picture of what are the steps involved, and what are the key words you need to learn about if you want to search more information. You'll learn a lot of vocabulary that can be useful to understand other online content like "traces", "vias", "ground fill", "design rules check", "silkscreen", "routing" and so on.

For the curious, the circuit shown in the board is a slightly modified version of my breadboard display module in https://siliconchronicles.github.io/o... , using a PAL to replace the two 74xx ICs.
