Finding a good pace for such a tutorial is hard but you've nailed it! 2 hours well spent 😁
Glad you liked it!
I've been using KiCad for about two years now and get by OK, but your tutorials have really helped introduce me to many best practices and that has helped me to improve the quality of my boards. I really didn't appreciate how fantastic a piece of software KiCad really is. Thank you for the deep dive into it! A really great series.
Thank you! Glad it was helpful!
Admittedly one of the best and comprehensive videos on KICAD PCB design. That too by a fellow Indian makes me proud. Way to go bro. Thanks so much.
Thank you!!
Just want to say that this video was extremely helpful in helping me to learn KiCad...by far the best one on CZcams. Thanks so much for spending the time to create this video. Sending you a $$ Thanks for sure.
Glad it helped!
You have an excellent teaching method. Thank you so much!
Glad it was helpful!
Iam beginner to PCB design, You teaching is very good, neat, covered everything needed.
glad i found your channel
Glad it was helpful!
Beautiful tutorial saw it all the way. I'm only confused with NETS and Copper fills. Apart from that I am pretty well set. Thanks for these videos pal.
Glad it was helpful!
worked with and done. Thanks very much. Those were instructive hours.
Glad it was helpful!
@@pcbcupid In any case. I'll look at a few more exercises and then design a pcb for my robot dog with raspberry, pca9685, 5x ultrasonic, 1x Oled, 1xNeoPixel, 1x IMU. i always thought making footprints was going to be a nightmare, but your work shows it's going to be easy. Thank you very much
@@messerschmidtfpv4419 You project sounds amazing! Glad the video could help you with custom footprints. We would love see your project once it's done!🙌
Nice video, thanks for sharing, well done :)
Thanks for watching!
such a clear explaination sir .. thanks a bunch😇
Most welcome!
This is such an underrated tutorial
Thank you!
52:10 Net classes
1:03:00 Add a 3D model that is missing from 3D viewer
🤣🤣😂
Great, waiting for advanced routing and design
We have a few videos planned up, once that's done. We'll definitely make a video on this topic.
Thank you!
Glad you liked it!
excellent tutorial!

Excellent tutorial in kicad 7. Thanks for covering it.
Any recommendations on tinning the home made PCBs in India?
Also what is the pcb trace width suggestions for home made PCBs
I think 0.2mm - 0.3mm should be good. But you need to be careful with the etching concentration and time.
The other constraint should be clearance somewhere between 0.5-0.6mm
Component placement also follows the same value
Thank you!!
Can you make a compilation like this of git+kicad video series?
Sure!

Great video
Glad you enjoyed it
My PCB design is circular in Shape and I have exported its step file. And after importing step file into solid works, board outline is missing and only shows the Components not the board .
And In KiCad, I have selected edge cut layer and KiCad 3D viewer shows me the correct board outline with all the components.
How Can I fix it.?
thanks a lot sir.
Glad it was helpful!
Not able to download project from github please help me
27:13 Nice
🌍Thanks!
Thank you too!
Hi, I was wondering what tool did you used to design your logo ??
We used vector based program. You can either use inkscape or Adobe illustrator
Hi Thanks for the vedio, can you please show how to add / do PCB edge plating in KICad..?
We'll try to make a video on it soon, make sure to follow up with our shorts video.
sure, thanks for considering
After a great start I got to the point where I wanted to download the project file used in the video. Well, which one? There's a whole list there.
Each project file is a section of the video, the first project file will have just the minimum setup and the last project file will have the complete circuit+ PCB layout.
I tried going about the Board Set up that you have talked about in the time stamp of 46:13 however it shows that "Project is missing or read only. Some settings will not be editable" any clue as to how to overcome that warning? It does not allow me to change the design rules contraints and a few other features in the PCB Editor....
It could be that you moved the project or the PCB file accidentally to a different location.
@@pcbcupid got it, also sir do you have reccomendation for these concepts on KiCad? Mpn or lcsc part number in the BOM, trace thickness, copper pours?
@@vinayakmishra4510 we do have some of them on our channel, please go through the channel page.
@@pcbcupid Okay sir, Thank you!
Have you tested the circuit simulator in version 7.0?
Not yet, we are still on process of testing the compatibility of Free Routing and KiKit. Probably after that we'll start experimenting with the simulator on version 7.0
What is a compodent?
Hi, i really loved your video.
I followed it through all the day to design my own board.
i have made my own gerber files and zipped it etc.
At this point I believe I can immediately sent it to pcbways to get it
created right ?? at 1:30:40 you said that we might think that this is over
and we might send it for manufacturing and you said well sorry.. i will definitely
not send this pcb for manufacturing even though it meets the standards and it's good looking
it needs to be further optimized for production ?? what do you mean by further optimized ??
is there any further optimization that i need to do do on my part to send it for production, after the gerber files have been created ?? what is this optimizations needs to be done ??
Thanks,
When we talked about optimization, it's about PCB assembly and sourcing components. Initially all the used components were chosen for easy design but not for cost effectiveness or assembly.
In the optimization we talk about choosing the component that are easy to assemble by machine (mostly smd components) and cost factor.
How much wiggle room should i keep for the enclosure? lets say i want the eclosure 100mm by 100mm, how much should i subtract from the 100mm to make the PCB?, and how much should i subtract from the mounting holes for the enclosure?
Many manufacturers have a very good tolerance, usually just a few mm (+/- 1-2 mm). Apart from this, please consider the tolerance from your 3d print as well (say about another +/- 1-2 mm). Then the wiggle room should be between 2-4mm.
You can design your pcb around 96x96 or 95x95 for a safer range.
@@pcbcupid Thank you. gonna try that soon hopefully.
I’m finding it difficult to download the source file for the video. Any help please🙏🏾
Go to this URL : github.com/pcbcupid/Kicad-7-Series
Click -> code (highlighted in green) -> Download Zip
Once the zip file is download extract them to your preferred location and you should have access to the source files.
If you would like to learn how Git/Github work, please check out this series: czcams.com/play/PLn6004q9oeqEwmWBugy04WfmDpkLn4PIn.html
Thanks so much.
I believe I’ll do great with this tutorial. I’m a new learner of this app🙏🏾
Which would be best ?Do I watch Your whole series or this Single tutorial kindly reply
Both are same! Individual series took a long time to complete, so, we this video for people who like to learn in one go.
57:17 which software did you use for making this 3d model of diya??
It's fusion 360.
I need a contact details of this channel i want help from you for my students .
You can contact through our email : hello@pcbcupid.com
Is this software free?
Yes! It's completely open-source.
awesome video till the date really like it keep going......
Thank you so much !
