Autodesk Eagle : PCB & Hardware Design for Beginners

Training Overview

• Learn how to design PCB from scratch.

• Covers the end-to-end hardware development process, with a step by step approach.

• Uses Eagle software for PCB designing & Arduino IDE for programming the hardware.

Descriptions

This training will arm you with knowledge required to design your own PCBs from scratch. Every single step along the way has been thoroughly covered.

We will be building a custom Arduino UNO board from scratch, which can be programmed using the Arduino IDE. The training also covers some essential circuits (viz RGB LED, switches, preset, motor drivers, seven segment displays), and their interfacing with the microcontroller on the custom Arduino that we are building. You will find yourself using these circuits in a lot of future projects/products.

All in all, this training covers the end-to-end hardware development process. After completing the training, you will be confident in designing your own hardware.

Key Skills you will learn

• Circuit Design

• PCB Design

• Hardware testing

• Troubleshooting hardware issues

Who is this training for

• Beginners, hobbyists & students getting started in embedded designing.

• People building hardware for their engineering project.

• People collecting knowledge to grab an internship or job in the embedded field.

• You have any of the following questions:

  • a. How to convert an idea to a finished PCB?

  • b. What is the workflow for designing hardware?

  • c. How to approach schematic & layout designing?

  • d. How to read the components datasheet?

  • e. Where to order the PCB?

  • f. Where to get the components?
