Printed Circuit Board (PCB) Design from the Ground Up ™

   Watch Promo

You already know how to develop firmware for STM32 microcontrollers. However, you remain confined to the development board.

Have you ever imagined designing and printing your own Printed Circuit Board (PCB) from scratch, then writing your firmware and flashing it onto the board?

This course empowers you ...

...to bring your physical ideas to life, from designing circuit boards that incorporate all essential components—including your MCU chip, oscillator, and USB interfaces—to having your PCB printed and delivered.

Course Objectives

PCB Design

You already excel in microcontroller programming; now expand your expertise to include designing custom, multi-layer PCBs with an array of components.


From Concept to Creation

You've relied on pre-made boards; now learn to design one similar to the STM32 development boards, but with additional features like wireless radios and accelerometers.


Comprehensive Firmware Development

You already write firmware code; now flash it into your custom hardware for a seamless integration.
From selecting the right components using platforms like Mouser or DigiKey, through mastering schematic capture and complex PCB layout, you will manage every critical phase of the hardware development process.
You already know the impact; STM32 microcontrollers are pivotal in many popular hardware products like Google Pixel smartphones and Apple TV, highlighting the practical importance of these skills.


Who Should Enroll:

  • This course is designed for individuals with a background in firmware development who wish to go beyond using development boards and step into the world of custom PCB design and integrated hardware development.
  • Seize this opportunity to master another crucial pillar in the field of embedded systems: Hardware Systems Design. By the end of this course, you will have a physical product, designed by you, in your hands—turning your envisioned projects into tangible reality.
  • Whether you are looking to advance your career or bring personal projects to fruition, this course offers the necessary tools and knowledge.
