Hell i just wanna give you props for even doing the micro soldering yourself. PCBWay usually i mean for an extra fee will do the smt components for you so all you'd solder is anything thats thru hole. But still good props for doing it yourself not many choose that route but its a good learning experience

I have been watching him from the begining. He started as just a guy who doesn't even know how to make a gear to this level of amazing engineer. It’s just amazing that his progress is so visible

Im going to anger someone right here.

PCB board.

My advice for if you keep going down the custom PCB rout, 1) get mini hot plate 2) flux gel 3)fine solder 4) extraction system/filtering system for health reasons.

[durdentyler]

you are an inspiration to so many people, i fucking love channels like yours because without them id never get off my ass and try my knowledge by making things, thank you!

[bowieinc]

I’m impressed, I have several projects where I’ve stopped short of this step so they never reach their final, smaller form factor. . Your videos are motivating.

That PCBWay and DigiKey combo is the way to go. I loved assembling my own pcbs, but I struggle with programming!

Agree routing traces is so relaxing and fun! Looking forward to seeing you again at Open Sauce.

Great project! For your next board, instead of attaching an Arduino development board onto your board, put the Atmega328P chip right on your main board, with the accompanying components to run it.

[philip_fletcher]

Very well done, especially using surface mount for your first PCB! 100% agrre on routing being therapeutic - the part of the process I also enjoy most.

[spookysack]

More videos like this! Im curious about learning more about soldering and this is something that gets me really nervous.

[YSPACElabs]

Heh as an amateur PCB designer, I agree that routing traces can be soothing. Also a tip: 0805 (imperial) components are a nice middle ground smd component size for most prototyping stuff. Whatever you do, do not the 008004.

It gets you just so proud once you have your own PCB in your hand. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

What's the link to the KiCAD tutorial?

[TheYessaOfBoy]

OMG A GOOD VIDEO THAT EXPLAIN HOW CREATE A PCB, tysm

[MrLawalker]

YES! You ABSOLUTELY leveled 💯TF up bossmann ❣️❣️🤩😍🤩😍🤩😍🤩💪💪💪💪👏👏👏👏

[Cryo_Gen]

kicad and easyeda are amazing. they even have auto routing now!

[hotw]

I love the level up feeling, got one when I deployed my first Pwnagotchi back before there was a wizard and you had to do your own conf file, and I made the mistake buying a Zero 2W and had to integrate onto a 64bit board. That success was visceral though.

Solder paste and an oven on 350F for about 5 min tops. You'll see the parts shift into place when the paste hits the melting point.
Awesome job, man.

[MikeHarris]

What's even more awesome if you take the parks from your plug in modules and put them permanently on your custom board. Then it's 100% custom!!
