I'm glad I could help! I wish I could take credit, but the truth is that if you already have a basic background in circuits/schematics, then basic PCB design isn't hard at all.
@@ryanriley5591 Feel free to take these credits! What i meant was observing and following the whole process after(!) seeing some stuff running on the breadboard. I got my hands on the great Fritzing, but i think, its not that explanatory as a beginner would need. IMHO, they may have arragend the panels in the wrong order.. :-) The schematics should come first, followed by the breadboard (b.t.w. called "Steckplatine" in my german version...) I also got furios, when i tried to change the capacity-value of C3, but a moment later i learned, that this is a 'normal' Fritzing's behavior and how to work around. This was extremly useful! So thanks for that! And now i am looping over your 555-Lesson. Just to understand, what i (or we) actually did there an hour ago... :-)
Yes! You just to have the correct parts footprint. I used through-hole parts here because that's what we use in the class I was teaching, but surface mount would be fine.
Na, not the entire trace. You know how you can grab a trace and move it and it creates a dot. Well if you move the traces around to much you wind up with extra dots (junctions). I need to get rid of those
Your tutorial is great as didn't know about the ground and voltage connection for which I struggled with
Thank you very much, Ryan! I woudn't have believed, someone could teach me the basics of PCB-Design in just 3 videos within an hour. But you did!

2:58-2:59 only part i needed, thanks!
Excellent. Thank you.
very good
thank you very much
Anyone know how to move all parts that were previously selected as all? Like lining up circuit fragments relative to each other.
Like the video, can you use Fritzing with surface mount components?
Yes! You just to have the correct parts footprint. I used through-hole parts here because that's what we use in the class I was teaching, but surface mount would be fine.
How do I get the components to be coloued?
How did you enlarge the 555 timer?
Hi Ron,
I just zoomed in. I did it with the mouse, but you can also just use the zoom slider in the bottom right-hand corner of the screen.
Good.
how do you remove a junction?
If I'm understanding you correctly, then you just click on the wire you want to remove and push the delete key.
Na, not the entire trace. You know how you can grab a trace and move it and it creates a dot. Well if you move the traces around to much you wind up with extra dots (junctions). I need to get rid of those
Ah, I see what you mean.
I usually just remove the entire trace and do it all again.
I'm not even going to try to watch this because of sound volume. Thumb down.
It could have been worse, such as gas volume problem.
