Electronics in the modern world are based on the Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs). They offer a hard base, which provides mechanical support for parts and an electrical connection between them through copper traces etched on the board. The absence of PCBs would have caused electronic equipment to use loose wires, thus making them cumbersome, unreliable, and hard to fix.<\/p>

In the case of students and novices, PCB design is a necessary step in transitioning between theory on circuit diagrams and the practical world. The practical skills learned through the understanding of how to transform a schematic into a real-world board include layout planning, signal routing, and signal electrical noise management.<\/p>

EasyEDA is online and free to use, compared to other traditional EDA software, which needs a complicated installation and high-powered hardware. It has a unified environment with schematic capture and PCB layout, simulation, and manufacturing output. This can be seen as a perfect place for a beginner to start who wishes to create a professional multi-layer PCB without any complexities of setting up the system.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The first thing to do is to create a free account on the EasyEDA site. Once you have logged in, choose the Pro Editor that offers better performance and recent editing capabilities, and supports multi-layer PCB designs.<\/p>

After entering the editor, take time to familiarize the workspace. Components, libraries, and placement tools are found on the left panel. On the right panel, there are property and layer controls. The upper toolbar gives access to saving, conversion of schematics into PCBs, rule checks, and exporting manufacturing files. The central workspace is the main area where you construct your schematic and layout.<\/p>

Open a new project and give it a definite name, e.g., Multilayer Controller Board. EasyEDA keeps the project on the cloud and makes it accessible on other devices, as well as safeguards your work against unintentional loss of data.<\/p>

To create a new project in EasyEDA, the steps mentioned below must be followed:<\/p>

  1. Open EasyEDA. On the top right side, there is an option for File.<\/li>
  2. Click on File > New > Project.<\/li>
  3. A dialog box appears, where you can give a name to your project and save it.<\/li>
  4. After saving the project, you can see a blank schematic sheet, where you can start circuit designing.<\/li><\/ol>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    The schematic circuit is the electronic circuit blueprint. It is a representation of the electric connections of the components, but not their physical positions on the board.<\/p>

    Open a new sheet of schematic first and add components from the library of EasyEDA. A basic circuit based on a microcontroller, a voltage regulator, LEDs, and connectors can be used as an example of a circuit to study by a novice.<\/p>

    Connect the pins of the components with the wire tool in the way you want to form your circuit. Such relationships are electrical continuity. In order to maintain the schematic organized, VCC, GND, and SIGNAL net labels should be used as opposed to making long wires across the page.<\/p>

    Assign component values, e.g., capacitor capacitance or resistor resistance. Next, mark up the schematic in such a way that an identifier is given to every component (R1, C1, U1). This is necessary in the process of troubleshooting.<\/p>

    To design a circuit in EasyEDA, mentioned below steps must be followed:<\/p>

    1. On the left side, there is an option of Library.<\/li>
    2. Click on the library, and search for the component you want to use in your circuit.<\/li>
    3. Connect the component pins using the wire tool.<\/li><\/ol>

      Before the next step, the Electrical Rule Check (ERC) shall be run. This tool detects broken links, short circuits, or unpowered pins. By fixing them at this stage, you are going to be certain that you will have a working circuit when assembled.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

      Having done the schematic, transform it into a PCB layout. The software EasyEDA provides the names of footprints assigned to each component automatically. Footprint is the arrangement and size of the physical pads of the component package.<\/p>

      Footprint can be assigned as follows:<\/p>

      1. On the top menu, there is an option of tool.<\/li>
      2. Click on Tool > Footprint Manager.<\/li>
      3. Select the footprint and click OK. Footprint will be assigned to that component.<\/li><\/ol>

        Footprints should be determined. Compare data sheets of components to be used in checking pad space and package type. To use a voltage regulator as an example, it can be available in various packages, and if the incorrect footprint is chosen, it will make it impossible to solder.<\/p>

        The beginners must use reliable library footprints so as to avoid manufacturing problems. Upon its verification, the PCB editor will open, which contains components to place.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

        Components in the PCB editor seem to be clustered and united by fine lines known as ratsnest lines. These lines signify the work of electrical requirements.<\/p>

        Start by illustrating the board outline. The outline gives the physical dimension and layout of the PCB. In the case of beginners, it is simpler to work with a rectangular board. If the PCB is to be housed in an enclosure, make sure that the PCB dimensions match the requirements of the enclosure.<\/p>

        The board outline can be drawn as follows:<\/p>

        1. Select the Board Outline Layer.<\/li>
        2. On the top menu, there is an option for tools. Click Tools > Set Board Outline.<\/li>
        3. Draw the board outline as per the requirement, and place components inside the board outline.<\/li><\/ol>

          The second step is the logical arrangement of the components. Connectors are to be placed in the proximity of the edges of the boards. The integrated circuits should be placed centrally to reduce the trace length. The power components should be grouped together in order to make routing easy.<\/p>

          Proper placement is among the most critical processes in the PCB design since it determines how routing is done, electrical performance, and heat management.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

          In order to design a multi-layer PCB, open the settings of the layer configuration and add more copper layers. Novices in professional design techniques should use four-layers board.<\/p>

          There is also a general stack arrangement which consists of:<\/p>
