In this video, I'm showing you the process of creating a project PCB built around the NodeMCU development board and a Hi-Link HLK-PM01 module so the entire project can be directly powered from the mains.
The final board has 3 sockets for I2C devices, 3 for SPI devices, 2 sockets for relays, a DHT22 socket, and an analog input socket as well as 2 serial sockets.
You can check out the entire process starting from getting the needed components and their footprints all the way to ordering the PCBs from a manufacturer and the entire process in between where I make design decisions.
The plan for the final PCB is to be a versatile base for a lot of different projects where a lot of sensors can be attached without too much hustle.
Links to the final schematic and PC can be found on the website article for the board:

Man, I love this video as it shows me how to start on the schematic and PCB from start! ty very much!

[@TasteTheCode]

Awesome! I'm glad that you liked it!

[@khamismuniru5188]

Hello Sir, nice video. Could you guide me on where to get the Miscellaneous components library?. Thank you.

[@TasteTheCode]

Hi there, thanks! That is part of the default Altium installation.

[@khamismuniru5188]

@@TasteTheCode hello, thanks for your reply, I just realized they got deleted in Altium 23. You now have to download them manually.

[@TasteTheCode]

Ah, OK, I wasn't aware of that. Thanks for pointing it out.

[@prashkd7684]

I'd not use these Hi Link modules in hobby projects. There are PCB mount transformers available on RS for HIgh to low side isolation.

[@TasteTheCode]

This should be isolated as well. I don't have a good way to test the isolation but it should be OK.
