Making a circuit requires several mini-projects:
Decide what function your circuit board should have
- download a cad file from the hello-world circuits section on the http://fab.cba.mit.edu/about/fab/ or from hello world electronics
- Or design custom circuit
create the schematic and board layout in a CAD program
Use e.g. Eagle or Cad.py, ,or Gimp or draw it and scan
- physically milling or cutting out the board which connects components
- make a programming cable
- programming the microcontroller
- Troubleshooting
