Building your first PCB - Part I

Have you ever wanted to make a PCB but don't know how? I walk you through a sample project step by step, using JLCPCB's EasyEDA design tool. We use ChatGPT to brainstorm parts selection and basic wiring, then create a schematic for the project. In Part II will create the PCB layout and submit it to JLCPCB for production. #pcb #jlcpcb #easyeda #diyelectronics #electronics #uart Part II, Layout out the PCB and ordering from JLCPCB https://youtu.be/HTLBqGGGkJU ChatGPT Conversation https://chatgpt.com/share/68ad1521-7a14-8002-bbfe-b591a5424244 USBLC6-2 (ESD protection) data sheets https://www.lcsc.com/datasheet/C7519.pdf CP2102N Data Sheet https://item.szlcsc.com/datasheet/CP2102N-A02-GQFN20R/1058382.html? lcsc_vid=ElBdUVRSQwALVVIAT1MPVgJRRgBYVV1eFlZZBVFSEwIxVlNTQVJeUVFQQVNbUDsOAxUeFF5JWBEcCEoDFhIXAgAHWQIBCks%3D Link to Schematic and PCB https://oshwlab.com/jvanderberg/uart-breakout-board-for-usb-c SMD Surface mount reference https://www.pic-control.com/electronic-component-footprint/ Table of Contents: 00:00 Intro 01:55 Project selection 04:11 Chatting with ChatGPT, your 24/7 available PhD Electrical Engineer and coach 16:10 Commercial UART breakout boards 18:30 Creating an EasyEDA project 19:03 Schematic vs PCB 20:36 Placing our first part 22:00 Reviewing the datasheet 26:30 Basic vs. Extended Parts 28:30 Picking more parts 31:13 Standard SMD footprints 33:15 And the rest of the parts 39:05 Wiring it all up 44:59 Net labels 48:21 Editing symbols for clearer schematics 50:00 Wiring Speedrun 51:10 Design Rules Check 52:10 Tidying up 54:32 Why EasyEDA is good for beginners 56:23 Outro
