Arduino Uno Rev3 based PCB Design (Altium Designer)

This repository contains a complete Arduino Uno Rev3 PCB design based on the reference design from Fedevel Academy. It includes the full schematic, PCB layout, assembly files, BOM (Bill of Materials), and 3D views.

As part of my learning process, I manually recreated the schematic and implemented the PCB layout in Altium Designer. This project was intended as a personal exercise in schematic capture, layout, DRC management, variant handling, and preparing manufacturing outputs.

The goal of this project is to provide a custom PCB design that replicates the Arduino Uno Rev3 form factor and features, while offering a more professional approach to designing Arduino-based boards.

Features

• Fully compatible with Arduino Uno Rev3
• Designed using Altium Designer
• Includes 3D view of the PCB layout
• Detailed schematic diagram of the design
• Complete Bill of Materials (BOM)
• Ready-to-use assembly files for manufacturing

Project Files

The following files are included in this repository:

• Schematic: Detailed circuit diagram in .SchDoc format
• PCB Layout: Fully routed PCB design in .PcbDoc format
• Assembly Files: Includes gerber files for manufacturing
• BOM: Complete Bill of Materials for easy component sourcing
• 3D View: A 3D rendering of the PCB layout for visual inspection

File Structure:

• schematic/: Contains the schematic design file (.SchDoc)
• Assembly and 3D Models/: Gerber files for PCB manufacturing , Bill of Materials and 3D render images of the PCB

Build Instructions

Step 1: Manufacturing the PCB

1. Download the Gerber files from the assembly/ folder.
2. Use these files to send to your preferred PCB manufacturer.

Step 2: Assembling the Components

1. Once you have the PCB, begin the assembly by following the Bill of Materials (BOM).
2. Solder the components according to the schematic and PCB layout.
3. Ensure all connections are made correctly, especially power and ground connections.

Step 3: Testing the Board

Once the board is assembled:

1. Connect it to a computer or USB power supply.
2. Load the standard Arduino Uno sketch onto the board to verify that it functions correctly.
