        Overview of how to design simple, 2-layer, STM32-based hardware (PCBs) in KiCad - covering the main aspects in roughly 20 minutes! A very reduced version of the ´original´ 3hr videos. Essentially, a bread-board friendly STM32F1 breakout board with USB power - very similar to Blue Pill modules.<br><br>Going through schematic design (power, STM32, crystal, USB, etc.), layout and routing, and ordering via JLCPCB for PCB manufacture and assembly.
