PCB designing Video Tutorial and Ebooks

Easy to use PCB designing Tutorial

PCB designing is no more a hard core designer’s job , even cons like us can design the PCB using this brilliant software “PCB WIZARD”. You need not be a wizard when you Have PCB wizard in hand.

Unlike most of the PCB designing software’s PCB WIZARD is very user friendly.
(I am telling this keeping in mind that I‘ve tried many other designing software’s).
.The coolest thing that I found in this software is you don’t have to design the PCB at all. It makes PCB for you. How cool is that?

You’ve to just draw the circuit (schematic diagram)



then select the option convert
Design to Printed circuit board



The software makes the PCB for you .This is done by auto routing .They even provide manual design mode for advanced users.


Autorouting in action watch the video .



No more you have to be a master knowing each and every spec of the electronic components the pins diameter the size of drill bit .Nothing nothing this software does it for you.


COMPONENT LIBRARY

But there are a few draw backs as well .When you choose the automatic conversion option It lets you down on the aesthetics part .But I don’t mind as far as it is done at the hobby level and if I can design PCB so easily why care about aesthetics.
And the component library is also not adequate .Especially L298 is missing .It also lacks SMD library.

They even have tutorials about etching PCB‘s .And more importantly they don’t have restriction on the size of the PCB.
