See Real PCB Work in Reel Format
Since your clips are vertical, this page now uses reel-style video cards that make the PCB results feel more tangible and more natural to watch.
Industrial PCB and Enclosure Prototype
This video shows a real PCB and enclosure prototype prepared for an industrial use case, helping visitors see how the design moves from engineering work into a physical hardware result.
Inside the PCB Design Course
This clip gives visitors a closer feel for the PCB course itself, showing the kind of design workflow and practical board-development process students move through during training.
Real Products Designed with KiCad
This course uses KiCad, so these examples now come from official KiCad showcase projects that show how real boards move from idea to working hardware.
KiCad can support complete single-board computer design, not only small training boards
KiCad’s official A64-OLinuXino showcase highlights a Linux and Android single-board computer with DDR3 memory, wireless connectivity, Ethernet, HDMI, and audio. This is a strong example of how structured PCB workflow can support ambitious real hardware products.
KiCad is also used for practical embedded hardware that combines PCB design with ESP32 systems
KiCad’s thermal camera showcase features a real ESP32-based board with an MLX90640 thermal sensor and on-device display. It is a great fit for this course because it connects PCB design directly to embedded systems, manufacturable hardware, and visible end-user value.

For Students Ready To Design Real Boards
This track is for learners who want to move from circuit ideas to manufacturable PCB designs using a structured engineering workflow.
Basic Electronics Understanding Recommended
Students should already understand fundamental electronics concepts and how schematic symbols relate to real components and system behavior.
How PCB Design Fits the Learning Path
PCB Design is usually the hardware step students take after strengthening their fundamentals and embedded knowledge. It pairs especially well with STM32 and ESP32 projects.
Recommended Pairings
STM32 Embedded Systems pairs well with PCB workflow for complete product development.
ESP32 IoT becomes more powerful when you can design your own boards.
Engineering Fundamentals is the best starting point if you still need electronics basics first.
Questions Students Usually Ask
The most common questions students ask before joining the PCB Design course.
Do I need to know KiCad before joining?
No. The workflow is taught during the course, but basic electronics understanding will help you move faster.
Will I learn manufacturing outputs too?
Yes. The course covers DRC, fabrication files, Gerbers, and the handoff process needed for real board production.
Is this useful for ESP32 or STM32 projects?
Yes. The course includes board-design thinking that supports embedded systems work and helps students turn prototypes into manufacturable hardware.
