I'd like to learn complete PCB Design Techniques.
Basically, I want to build a pcb prototype for my personal project (having some SMD IC's on PCB as well) from an circuit idea in my brain. Please, try to answer each sub-topic with it's corresponding reference number. Obviously, one doesn't have to answer all parts in one go, but please try to answer as many as you can.
1. Circuit Design: Software Tools for -:
1a. Circuit Idea to Schematic Design
1b. Schematic to PCB Layout Design
2. PCB Design: Say now, I've got the PCB Design in my PC, I want to build a PCB from that layout.
2a. Where (online shops) to buy raw pcb boards, kits, chemicals and tools etc. ?
2b. How to (online reference material) build a pcb from above hardware ?
3. Components/IC Soldering Equipment: Say now, I've build a pcb, It's time to solder IC's and other components.
3a. Where (online shops) to find a decent soldering station with temperature control, capable of hot air soldering (i.e, capable of soldering SMD devices as well)
My aim is not to build professional quality pcb. I want to build a fully functional pcb prototype from my circuit ideas.
thanks.
