In this video I walk you through the journey I followed to design and manufacture (or rather, get manufactured) a PCB for Jugglebot's mechanical components. I step through component choice, using KiCAD for PCB design, how to get a PCB manufactured, and some lessons I learned for next time I do this.
As always, I hope you enjoy it!
