PCB Design Course

A repository containing course material, projects, and examples for learning printed circuit board (PCB) design using KiCad.

About

This repository hosts all the materials for the PCB Design Course taught by Profesor Cândido Duarte. It is intended for students who want to learn the fundamentals of PCB design, from schematic capture to board layout, fabrication files, and assembly.

Course Structure

The course is organized into projects. Each project builds on the previous one.

Questions

How big is the Francisco Câmara PCB?

It measures 54 × 54 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Francisco Câmara use?

74 parts, built around the PIC32MZ1024EFE064-E/PT, FT231XS-R, TPS79633DCQR and B3F-1005. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the Francisco Câmara KiCad files?

From the FranciscoCamara/PCB-Design-Course repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Projeto2/Entrega/Francisco-Câmara.kicad_pcb and its schematic Projeto1/Entrega/Francisco-Câmara.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Francisco Câmara design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask FranciscoCamara before reusing the design.
