lol for those of us doing contract work, looking forward to the client telling me it should take 25 minutes.

All I can say is I owe a lot to this guy currently in my final semester before getting my bachelors. These videos saved me when designing my PCBs for my senior design project. Eternally grateful

When I started making PCB's in the mid 70's, I used everything from fingernail polish to tape on mylar sheet. Things have certainly come a long way. Like programming, it's become so easy and so cheap that every 9 year-old can do it. Almost takes the fun out of it, but not quite. 😄

This video is very educational. I’d like a vid that’s an hour long expressing the finer details in PCB design. I’ve learnt a lot from you, Sir. Thank you!

Very useful, thank you. Graduated with a B.S. in Electrical Engineering and my classes never fully got into PCBs so I've been teaching myself. Lucky to have great resources on the internet.

ahhhhh man i just subscribed yesterday to your channel seeing how good you summaried esp models and how to select how to go to the final product etc. and not your publishing such a video as well as the long version you are definitely great thank you so much

Insanely great content!! Subscribed to this AND the email. I recently quit my job in an industry I was suffocating in to pursue my true passion for tech that I've hid away so many years. Self-teaching so this content is perfect for me. I have been feeling right at home. I only have done a few small PCBs, so this is the next one up to bat! Thanks again for the great content, look forward to more of it!

Thank you John. Good to be back to circuits and design after a long time in the systems and software industry. Open-source tools make this extremely fun and fulfilling to design and see things come to life. Much appreciated for your videos. I am back at it again.

Amazing! I was looking for a tutorial this spot-on. Looking forward to designing an esp32 board for home automation

This is a good video. I have Pcad and Aliumn  and have used them for years professionally. I have been making new designs for the DIY community and found most of the community interested in my projects could not use my cad files so I am learning kicad for them to copy, modify for use directly with the pcb fabricators.

To move the components around on the layout initially, select groups on the schematic. They will also be selected on the layout and you can move them as sensible groups. And those 3.3V decouplers for the IC need to be as close as possible to the IC pin 3. Hanging away on a long track they are not doing their job. You need to widen the board to place them. Alternatively put them on the underside.

Thanks. Really appreciate you showing the basics. I’ve assumed this is What’s going on on the boards but nice to have it confirmed. I got a bare module cause I’ll be prototyping a drone flightcontroller and want the bare minimum. I’ll make a pcb later.

Nicely done, may I give you a tip? Assuming you said yes 😃...  In stead of deleting those values, turn off the Front and Back Fabrication  layers (F_FAB and B_FAB). That is where they live. Then they will all go (your are hiding them), so you can't see them but the are there is case you need them later on if you decide to have your boards assembled. Good luck!

fantastic! Congrats from Portugal

Nice informative video, but please please talk louder and turn your mic down a bit so you're not whisper-growling.

Using this module for an EKG design. Thanks for the video!

Very nice. I'll likely give this a go. I'm planning on making some STM32 boards for a few of my projects, but I'm considering using ESP32 for at least the initial version to take advantage of the bluetooth and wifi

Very informative! Seems like a simple breakout board might be easier for my project.
Are there downloadable schematics, say for an ESP32-S3, so you don't need to do that part for common setups? That way you can add any other components you need and then jump to the PCB design

Brilliant tuition. Brilliant layout. I'm sure I can do this..

Excellent video, im designing a PCB for a buisness idea and this really helped
