Adding labels and graphics on the PCB....

Did you ever wonder how I put decals, logos, or labels on my PCB? 











PCB labels or markings will greatly help you in troubleshooting your circuit as well gives you an idea how the parts or components are connected. It also makes your PCB looks professional-made. :)
I am  using Express PCB. It is free and very user friendly. 


Here is a short tutorial on how to convert an Express PCB layout to PDF.




Here is a video about editing the PDF file and inserting labels, decals, logos,etc... on the PCB silkscreen. PCB layout made from other PCB software can also be used e.g. EAGLE, PADS, etc.. as long as it is now in PDF format.
