Here it is, boldly stated and dripping with sarcasm:
**Finally, a chance to build something more exciting than a breadboard.**
Got a wild hardware idea? Well, good luck making it real without a Ph.D. in PCB voodoo—unless you sign up for this one-day miracle workshop. Led by André LaMothe (author of 30+ books, and probably a few haikus about resistors), you’ll go from “What’s a schematic?” to “Here’s my production-ready Raspberry Pi Pico 2 board, please clap.”
Using EasyEDA (yes, it’s free, so no excuses), you’ll pretend to be an actual engineer, laying out circuits like a boss, avoiding rookie mistakes like routing power lines like spaghetti. Bonus: You’ll also learn to program your board using MicroPython, because why stop at just hardware when you can also look confused by software?
By the end, you’ll walk away with:
– A fancy certificate (perfect for framing or birdcage lining)
– Design files you can actually send to a factory
– Skills to impress your cat and maybe even a hiring manager
No prior PCB experience needed, just a basic understanding of electronics and the ability to Google error messages. Oh, and bring a laptop—preferably one that isn’t a potato.
Who’s it for? Makers tired of breadboards, students who want more than theory, entrepreneurs who think IoT is still cool, and hobbyists ready to stop pretending and start producing.
🎟️ Seats are limited, because apparently, this isn’t a webinar where you can just tune in and pretend to pay attention. Secure your spot, or forever hold your peace (and your hardware dreams).
Disclaimer: Signing up means you agree to receive emails. Because who doesn’t love more newsletters?
