Master the processes of designing and fabricating a PIC microcontroller training kit with this free online course.

It’s not always easy to find microcontroller training kits suitable for your electronics prototypes or products. Most times, commercially available kits contain far more features than you need for your project. As a result, you will incur more costs with a commercial Printed Circuit Board (PCB). But there is a solution for this problem: You can reduce these costs and procure a suitable training kit for your project by designing and manufacturing it yourself, and this free online course will show you how. This course will teach you how to manufacture a Peripheral Interface Controller (PIC) microcontroller training kit and show you how to design and manufacture any PCB you want. You will also master the use of Proteus software in building your PCB. We’ll take you through the systematic processes of designing and fabricating a PIC microcontroller training kit. By the end of the course, you would have also mastered designing and manufacturing PCBs. Starting, we’ll take you through the objectives and potential benefits of this course. Then, we will introduce the PIC microcontroller training kit and PCBs. We’ll show you how the microcontroller training kit can benefit you in testing microcontroller-related projects. You might be familiar with some of the elements in the training kit, and you will realise the extra components that you can add to the training kit to meet your demands.

This course uses the Proteus software to design the PIC microcontroller training kit and introduce you to PCB’s basic structure. To get started, you will need to download and install the Proteus software, for free, on your computer. Proteus is a popular software used for electronics design. Next, you will learn how to use the Proteus software to draw the circuit schematics of the PIC microcontroller training kit. We will show you how to design the PCB from the circuit schematic using the Proteus software. PCBs can be in single layers or multilayers, but did you know that most companies prefer creating multi-layer PCBs to single-layer PCBs? The course demonstrates the difference between the two designs of PCBs and why one is preferred to the other. Having designed the PCBs using the Proteus, you will learn about the material and equipment needed to print out the PCB design. Lastly, we will show you the systematic manufacturing process of PCB designs to fit your electronics needs.

You will find many devices that use PCBs, such as your computer, phone, and many other devices, when you look around. This course will help you free your mind to find creative ways of building devices. Whether you operate in the field of mechatronics engineering or are just enthusiastic about building electronics circuits, this course will add value to your career or business. You do not have to worry about getting a proper Printed Circuit Board (PCB) for your electronics project anymore. With this course, you are already on the path to providing your electronic projects with a fitted PCB and training kit. Begin this hands-on course today and start fabricating unique training kits with ease.
