From Rats Nest to a complete PCB layout in 10 steps // Designing a LoRa-GPS tracker in KiCad
#pcb #layout #kicad
In this video, I share some steps to take a PCB design that I manufactured with PCBWay https://pcbway.com, from a bare rats nest to a complete PCB layout. I had episodes where I tried to finish my routes, but it got messier and messier because I went in without any process or thoughts. I did some research and here I share 10 steps that we can take to make the routing a lot easier. As the classic saying goes "PCB design is 90% placement and 10% routing".
