Just a few days ago I did discover KiKit - github.com/yaqwsx/KiKit - apart from other things it can panelize your board with one call to the CLI. It may be a little bit difficult to setup (you need KiCad with Python3) but after that it is really easy to use. It even can rename nets/components so you do not get the rat nest chaos....
Very helpful video, thank you! I noticed you didn't add rails or fiducials. I assume adding those things isn't necessary unless you want to use a pick and place machine or do some other automation. Is that correct? Thanks again for sharing!
Nice video Sayanee! Did JLCPCB allow you to use the $2 for 5 PCBs offer for this or did you have to go with a more expensive option because it is panelized?
Sorry, I did not try this method, so I wouldn't know. Hopefully, someone else who has tried it can guide you. Or maybe you can contact JLCPCB directly to ask them.
@@skyguardian18 Yeah it's always better to ask the manufacturer directly with regards to their latest pricing and manufacturing capabilities. Glad it worked out for you!
Been with eagle for a long time .... only problem is panelizing ... Now thinking about learning KiCad all over again ... edit: I also watched that video .... edit: That probably is a very small GPS .. Ma'am can you please provide the part link ... if you see this comment ...
Here is the GPS module part link: www.cdtop-tech.com/products/pa1010d I have also done a complete video on how to use this module, if that helps you as well: ruclips.net/video/S1ASB8kQ5Is/видео.html
I cannot thank you enough! Finally un easy to follow tutorial.
Thanks heaps, You have saved me a heap of time with this video. Very clear. Thank you so much, :)

Great tutorial, simple and very clear. Thank you !!
Thanks, It really helped me with manufacturing a breakout board for a uC, because the chosen footprint was not available
Great video! thank you for sharing your knowledge ^^
Very informative video! I use Altium Designer and this video can be treated as a platform independent one.
Thank you, this is extremely helpful :)

That's correct. I made the breakout boards for hand soldering only.
Good point on the rails and fiducials!
Very useful and clear.
Thank you! I'd like to have a 10x10 mm board, which is too small for my PCB house to handle. Panelizing to the rescue :)
Great job, thank you !. easy to understand.
Great explanations, thanks you very much
Thanks
This is super helpful, thanks!
does the factory charge you same money as a 10x10 board?
I have not tried that! I always check with the PCB manufacturer on the pricing as it might vary with season and manufacturer.
Nice video Sayanee! Did JLCPCB allow you to use the $2 for 5 PCBs offer for this or did you have to go with a more expensive option because it is panelized?
That's right I used the usual $2 JLCPCB for 5 PCBs plus the cost of shipping of course. I didn't have any other expenses because it was panelized.
@@sayanee that's awesome. I read that they didn't like that but I guess they don't look too closely
@@sayanee ahh it's just if you have multiple designs that they don't want you to have mouse bites.
@@mattermfg Interesting... well I didn't try with multiple designs, so I don't know.
About a month ago I panelized about 5 different designs in one 10*10[cm] PCB and they charged me for 22 USD =(
I used GerberPanelizer
Is this method suitable for the smt instalation option in jlcpcb?
Sorry, I did not try this method, so I wouldn't know. Hopefully, someone else who has tried it can guide you. Or maybe you can contact JLCPCB directly to ask them.
@@sayanee thank you for your answer! I've asked them directly and they said yes it should be compatible!

Wonderful, thanks
Thank you!
Awesome ❤️
Keep the videos coming :-)
