From Zero to PCB: A Software Engineer's Guide to Designing Your First Circuit Board

A beginner-friendly guide explains PCB design for software engineers with no electrical engineering background.

It compares PCB work to software development and covers essentials like voltage, current, resistance, ground, schematics, and layout.

The article also outlines a first project in KiCad: a simple ATtiny85 blinking LED circuit.

The goal is to help engineers move from breadboards to fabricated PCBs that are smaller, more reliable, and closer to production-ready.
