Stop Worrying and Make Your First PCB

Tired of messy breadboards and tangled jumper wires? It is time to level up. In this video I show you how to take your prototype and turn it into your first real PCB step by step with no experience required.

You do not need to be an electrical engineer or have expensive tools. I explain the design process, how to choose the right components, and how to get your board made using free software (EasyEDA) that anyone can learn.

By the end you will have the confidence and ability to make your own custom circuit board that looks professional, works reliably, and gives you the satisfaction of building something real.
