[walysonsantos]

You were fantastic, because in addition to doing all this work recording step by step, you also made the final project available. It will definitely help many people learn more. Thank you, thank you very much

[miguelangellopezdibenedett]

This is why I love this channel. 8 hour video? Ok, I want to watch it :)

[sathiyanathan]

One of the best video showing how an experienced designer makes PCB and the ease of use of Altium.

[MrSpring]

Altium is too expensive for a hobbyist or a small company. What about Kicad next time?

[diwakarmr]

Excellent work. Very nice, , waiting for STM32 & renesas series

[physicians]

Hey robert im 18 year old from egypt
I wish i cand do one of these it feels exciting
You and ben eater have alot respect and love from me ❤❤

[mdtusherkhan]

Professor, you just ruined my summer vacation 😢

[eexperiments]

I have completed the PCB today. You are the best! sir

[guillepk]

Awesome video, Robert!! Incredibly detailed and useful content! You can be very proud of the work you've done. Congratulations!

[glendavis]

Wow, 8hrs in a single video I’m excited to dig into this and learn. Curious why not break it into a multiple video series?

[wsmao]

OMG, that's what I need right now! I've taken your amazing hardware design course on Udemy before. And you are my hero whenever I need! Thank you!!!

[alvarodemontes]

Waoua...a video lasting more than 8 hours. I am very impressed. thank you for your sharing.
I will do it.

[rul]

Thank you for thanking the time. Your channel is awesome.

[AndrewKiethBoggs]

You are amazing. Thank you for taking the time to provide this amazing material.

Your work is priceless !! You are such a great content creator 🤩

[philorkill]

This is great! Just at the right part of my journey. Thank you for sharing!

[Sinox]

Thank you so much sir. You have helped me a lot.❤

[rafaelbarajas]

Thank you very much Robert for sharing. You are great.
Gracias Robert por compartir, eres grande.

[vencislavvankov]

Hello! Congratulations for the wonderful lesson! I have the following question. With every project, do you start by creating a library of components? Aren't you already using your own library of components?

[paugasolina]

thank your feranec. now i know why im watcing your channel
