Same here. I have no formal education but I recently finished my first 12 layer USB3.1 SuperSpeed + FPGA board. Every once in a while, I have to book a freelancer to explain niche knowledge to me - for example how to calculate the impedance for the USB3 specs - but thanks to good software, it was a lot easier to learn than I thought.
By now, I have my own tiny KiCad fork to make things easier to read and look like I expect it to.

- gmurphy 5y agoAny tips on how to find/book those freelancers? I've been looking for similar help
- fxtentacle 5y agoI asked a lecturer at our local university to introduce me to some of his PhD students. That said, many hobbyists also just ask on the KiCad forums. And I know there are PCB review tasks on upwork.com
- le-mark 5y agoThis sounds exactly like a pcb project I have in mind, plus a bunch of ddr3. How hard is it starting from almost zero? I imagine diy isn’t realistic, how much does design of such a board cost?
