====== Knowledge base ======
This page gathers useful information regarding PCB design and manufacturing. Help improving it be supplying instructables for others.

===== Instructables =====
  * [[ee:components|Components database]]
  * [[ee:purchasingparts|Purchasing of parts]]
  * [[ee:pcbdesign|PCB design guidelines]]
  * [[ee:pcbuvmasks|Create masks for uv exposure]]
  * [[ee:pcbetching|Etching PCBs]]
  * [[ee:pcbfoametching|Foam Etching PCBs]]
  * [[ee:pcbsoldermask|Applying solder mask to PCBs]]
  * [[ee:pcbpanel|Make a multi-PCB panel]]
  * [[ee:nodered|Install Node-red]]

===== Software =====
Autodesk provides free student/education access to it's PCB design software [[https://www.autodesk.com/education/free-software/eagle|EAGLE]]. An open-source alternative is [[https://www.kicad.org/|KiCAD]]. There are good instructions on how to use both of them on the internet, e.g. this [[https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/using-eagle-schematic/|guide to EAGLE from SparkFun Electronics]].

===== Further information =====
  * [[https://learn.sparkfun.com/|SparkFun Electronics]] and [[https://learn.adafruit.com/|Adafruit]] provide quite comprehensive archives of tutorials regarding electronics.
  * Dave Jones' Electronics Engineering Video Blog ([[https://www.youtube.com/user/EEVblog/featured|EEVblog]]) is always worth a view.
