A printed circuit board, or PCB, is used to mechanically support and electrically connect electronic components using conductive pathways, tracks or signal traces etched from copper sheets laminated onto a non-conductive substrate. When the board has only copper tracks and features, and no circuit elements such as capacitors, resistors or active devices have been manufactured into the actual substrate of the board, it is more correctly referred to as printed wiring board (PWB) or etched wiring board. Use of the term PWB or printed wiring board although more accurate and distinct from what would be known as a true printed circuit board has generally fallen by the wayside for many people as the distinction between circuit and wiring has become blurred. Today printed wiring (circuit) boards are used in virtually all but the simplest commercially produced electronic devices and allow fully automated assembly processes that were not possible or practical in earlier era tag type circuit assembly processes.
Just in 5 simple steps

A PCB populated with electronic components is called a printed circuit assembly (PCA), printed circuit board assembly, or PCB Assembly (PCBA). In informal use, the term "PCB" is used both for bare and assembled boards, the context clarifying the meaning. The IPC preferred term for populated boards is CCA, circuit card assembly.[1] This does not apply to backplanes; assembled backplanes are called backplane assemblies by the IPC.

Alternatives to PCBs include wire wrap and point-to-point construction. PCBs must initially be designed and laid out, but become cheaper, faster to make, and potentially more reliable for high-volume production since production and soldering of PCBs can be automated. Much of the electronics industry's PCB design, assembly, and quality control needs are set by standards published by the IPC organization.

Amazing. You can build your own computer or robot using household supplies ! Brilliant !

[LaughinMN]

nice, the music reminds me of the terminator theme

[walikai]

to prevent having to do this more than once because of bad alignment/proportions from copying by eye:

1. Punch a small hole in each drill location
2. Tape the paper to the board
3. Poke the marker through the paper to the copper board
4. Complete the connections with the marker

[aryansinghania]

dude you used gloves for drawing but did the chemicals work bare handed

[hobokengar]

That was rather amazing ! Good Job, I will try it...but with gloves. :-)

[PauloConstantino]

SO GOOD! AMAZING. THANKS FOR SHARING !!!!

[MayMcDonough]

This was cool. Nice to know it can be that simple if I want it to be. I think I'll stick to transfers though. I don't trust myself to heavy a steady hand.

[tqipcbassembly]

What a clever idea. But I agree with the others. You gotta be careful with the chemicals as they can do some pretty serious damage.

[swyntopia]

I did it several times this way and it works !
I use waterproof permanent markers, no matter what brand.
And I suggest to drill the holes AFTER etching, not before drawing !
This method is absolutely sufficient for 1/10 " spacing, but for SMD ?
No, I would avoid it for SMD.
It´s simple, it´s cheap, and you can do it at home.
( Even on the dining table ! )
Remove the ink after etching with thinner.

nice work, very unique,  
but you forgot about safety and you are touching "ferric chloride" by bare hands
this is Dangerous for sure.
please do not try this again, and you must alert the viewers too, there may be a innocent trying that without knowing the damage it can cause, .

[MultiTom]

Good job !no need of peel n stick blue transfer paper:-) Thanks

[Berghiker]

Another tip. Pour some acetone into a small square container then just put the PCB into it. All the ink will just come off quickly.

[pradipselectrolab]

what the extra ordinary things you show?

[raypsi]

I can attest to sharpie marker pens, don't work so well, especially on 2 oz copper boards.
and put the foil side down in the etchent, etches a lot faster. I have no idea why, just does etch faster.
Great job thanks for sharing merci beaucoupe

sir aap tejab aur pani uj kiye hai uska name kiya hai aur sir ye saman kha se mile GA

[Sumanta]

Are you using the 15Rs CD/DVD/OHP markers from fabre castle?

[markfuertes]

can you make an obstacle sensor using that pcb board sir??

[robinrwilsonsauls]

Can you go over the Diagram with Graphite, and then Permanent Marker. The Graphite should help.

[s.mitrarohtak]

Please help me to get the pen requirements clearly

[nikeshpun]

what is that board made up of is it completly cooper??? and how much thickness should it be??
and importantly where can i find circuit board design for anything
