Need help with PCB design

Former Member
Former Member over 9 years ago

Hello everyone, This is my first time posting on this website.

I would appreciate your help with a project that I have. I am learning how to design PCBs ans I created a small project just to test it out. Can you guys please check it and give me your feedback and your tips?

 

The project is on this link. I used PCBweb to create it

    First thing that stands out is that the Gnd trace on the pcb appears to short out between two pins on the IC.

     

    The GND connection count (in fact the schematic IC to PCB IC pin count) don't seem to match.

     

    It isn't clear what you are trying to achieve here.

    Also, this looked a bit weird, but was only noticeable when zoomed in on the top copper view.

    Since each pad is separated by 1.27mm, those very tiny joins between the pads look to be of the order of 0.1mm or less.

    Patrick, there is a bigger learning curve with software like EAGLE, but it is exceedingly popular and so there are

    hundreds of video tutorials etc for it. You'd probably become proficient enough to create your own designs in a

    day or two of going through the user manual for it, and trying some tutorials.
