KiCad 6 STM32 PCB Design Full Tutorial - Phils Lab #65 is a comprehensive course that covers the entire process of designing a two-layer PCB for a 'black-pill' STM32-based board, including USB, from schematic creation to routing and manufacturing. The course is taught by Phil, an experienced hardware designer, and is suitable for both beginners and experienced users.
The course starts with an introduction to the STM32 microcontroller, decoupling, and configuration pins. It then covers the crystal circuitry, USB, power supply, and connectors. It also covers the Electrical Rules Check (ERC) and annotation, as well as footprint assignment.
The course then moves on to the PCB layout, starting with the PCB set-up. It covers the MCU, decoupling caps, crystal layout, USB and SWD layout, changing footprints, adding 3D models, switch and connector placement, and power supply layout. It also covers mounting holes and board outline.
The course then moves on to routing, covering decoupling, crystal routing, signal routing, and power routing. It also covers the finishing touches and Design Rule Check (DRC). Finally, it covers producing manufacturing files, such as BOM, CPL, Gerber, and Drill.
