KiCAD 7 PCB Layout in 5 steps

In this video we will make a PCB from scratch with KiCAD 7.
I will use the DIY Digispark USB circuit from a previous video as an example.
and guide you through all the steps:

0:00 Introduction
0:44 Schematic drawing
2:55 Create a custom symbol
4:21 Create custom footprint
6:39 PCB Layout
8:20 Create multi-PCB panel
10:54 Generate Gerber & Drill files & order PCB
12:22 Build & test the circuit.

Note: To use a PCB as USB like this you need to have a total thickness of ~2.2 mm for proper contact. To achieve this you can glue 0.6mm thick material on the back (I cut it from a plastic lid ;-).

WHAT? I just bought a full course of Kicad, then i realized it was out of date... Then i was searching for the missing infromations in the internet and end up here in this video... Just shocked that it contains all informations i needed in only 13 minutes... I'm sad and happy at the same time... ahahhaha

The most straightforward, concise and clear startup guide. Seriously, this is how all introductory videos should be! Thanks for sharing.

[Noughtta]

This is exactly what I was looking for to get started with KiCAD without all of the filler!

This might be the best tutorial on YouTube.

Hey, hey, hey! I did it! I have spent hours watching videos trying to figure out how to make a symbol and footprint for a couple of devices. Then I found this video. And I learned it wasn't so hard after all. You, sir, have my greatest gratitude! Thank you so much for this lesson!

Thank you for boiling down a complex process into a workflow that is easy to follow.

I wonder if folks who have commented below has actually gone through the video (except for some), there are so many things which are missed and not explained.
even the schematic and PCB are not matching. I have spent like 2hours figuring out what am i doing wrong, when i realized that the reference itself is incorrect.
Never the less, I really appreciate the time taken to compress the video of the entire design in 13mins. Please add note and comments wherever necessary for new designer who refer to this video.

Note: above comment are for my observation for this video only, other videos from Mr. T are great, keep up the good work

I have currently 7 years of C++ development, and I wanted to enter more into hardware-based software development and work on PCB designs. This video is really good at understanding basics. Thanks for the video mate!

BRILLIANT SUMMARY! Most tutorials are PAINFULLY SLOW or contain a LOT of unnecessary commentary. They also are not "end to end" process explanations leaving users wondering "What came before?" or "What next?"
Your video takes advantage of the fact that it's a VIDEO, not a live lecture - so if someone needs to reference a point that went by a little fast, they just REWIND! I will bookmark this video and refer back to it often.

WELL DONE!

[Dronebotworkshop]

Excellent tutorial, I really enjoyed it!

[PrinceWesterburg]

My God, this is actually really easy - I've been putting off using PCB software for 20 years but recently I have genuine need of it and thanks for making this video!

[gintarasbaranauskas]

Well done! Such a complex task explained in 13 minutes.

awesome video, short, simple and beginner friendly, i refused to start learning pcb design multiple times after seeing 3-5 hour tutorials but today i finally started, just orderred my pcbs after no longer than an hour worth of tinkering around, cant wait to see the end results!

[kermitinmountain]

I just saw your Youtube a few weeks ago, my first project was a struggle and took me a few days to follow, I wrote down the details, but, learned the Version you gave me was outdated. So, I had to go through and tonight. I have completed my first 3d design. Thank you, Mr.T.... By the way, the USB line should be followed by Power(+), Data(-), Data(+), and Gnd(-),

13분이라는 짧은 동영상안에 KiCad를 모두 담아내다니 정말 대단합니다.

[franklydude]

I come back to your video over the last two weeks and my first Kicad PCB design is almost complete, it's also very tiny! Thank you...

[robinsutcliffe-video_art]

This is really great, so straightforward - no wasted words - thank you so much!

[Santee]

Thanks for the tutorial!
I didn't know whether to use Altium, Fritzzing or Eagle.
KiCad looks more promising.
Cheers again!

[gvcallen]

This video is a gold-mine! Perfect for a quick summary of all the steps needed. Thanks a lot!

[mylesmcs]

Thank you so much, a great into/refresher in only 13 minutes! Really appreciate the start to finish process in a single concise video
