First attempt at PCB design

Former Member

Hi there,

 

I am in the process of designing a system to monitor various environmental valiables, I have written the majority of the code using an Arduino Mega 2560 and I am in the process of designing a PCB to get manufactured in a small run so I can deploy the system into my house. Here are links to the schematic and layout, could people take a look and see if they can find any glaring mistakes/problems/possible improvements/generally comment on it?

Thanks,

  • Dear Robb,

     

    Look at the PCB layout, there are unrouted trace and broken trace at some of the 5 pin IC.

    Please included some GND via for better grounding. Base on the PCB layout look like some grounding island there.

     

    I suggest you included some name for the component to the PCB for manufacture. This will make you life easy when doing the assembly work unless you plan for out source.

    Good luck and enjoys.
