Sincere call for comments on make a living as a PCB designer in India.
- anujdeshpande 11y agoGet your work out there. - Make small batches and sell on Tindie - For bigger projects do a crowdfunding on CrowdSupply (has a rep for OSHW) It's easy for software folks to get noticed courtesy of GitHub or building things which propagate faster than hardware (a simple script or emacs mode or atom plugin or whatever). It's much harder for a hardware guy. Look at https://femto.io/ https://femto.io/. I think it is a small team spinning boards in relatively small batches and selling them - https://femto.io/collections/all https://femto.io/collections/all Also, there are a lot of makerspaces popping up in India. Showcase stuff there too. There are a lot of software guys looking to do hardware stuff.
- srean 11y agoThanks for your comments. Its not for me but for someone I know who was once very skilled in the art (I myself am clueless about PCB matters). Wondering if starting PCB designing again be a source of livelihood.
- ChrisGammell 11y agoAnuj has some great advice below. Maybe also try contacting Anool (https://twitter.com/anool https://twitter.com/anool) to ask a similar question? He works with a couple different companies and is a huge supporter of the KiCad project (writes about it regularly on Hackaday and runs workshops all over the world)
