'''Hello World!'''

Within tech culture, learning new skills usually starts with a so-called "hello world!" example. By accident there has been a sketch of a unicorn on my desktop when we started working on our very first PCB. So that unicorn happened to be the artwork template. [[File:unicorn_original_new.jpg|~~800px~~]] It turned out to be a sophisticated application that was ideal for finding out how to create edge cuts, screen printing and mask layers in KiCAD. The initial circuit diagram was a luminous LED.

I can hardly imagine a better „hello world of PCB design/art“.

Still, this process was necessary to eliminate all the flaws of my design iteration by iteration, first and foremost an issue referred to as decoupling [http://www.thebox.myzen.co.uk/Tutorial/De-coupling.html] [http://www.lothar-miller.de/s9y/categories/14-Entkopplung]. This is of particular importance in my application as the ESP module is quite sensitive to noise and one of the worst components one can think of in terms of noise are motors. Here we have them combined on a tiny space of 50x50mm.

But I was glad to have figured this out before the PCB went into production, and when it finally did, all I could do was wait…. I purchased my first PCB ever at [https://aisler.net aisler.net]. Refreshing the order history every second at some point revealed the smart test result, which made me even more excited.
