Eagle PCB check

Question

I'm a beginner in eagle and I designed a PCB and I am ready to send it off to the PCB fab house.

but I need to make sure the board is gonna work cause I dont wanna spend 40 dollars on the PCB and have it short or not work.

So could you guys check the schematic and board file.

Things I would change 1) The tPlace font is Proportional, make it Vector so you get what you see. 2) Move the text off the pads, The board house will chop the characters to bits to satisfy this. Best you move the text so its readable when the board comes back. 3) Text like R4 will not come back readable as it is to thin. Currently the characters are 16mil high and the strokes of the chars are 8% of that, about 1.2mil. Your board house likely has a >5mil recomendation for printed objects 4) All the servo connectors have power connections with only three spokes of the thermal connected. with some shifting of nearby traces they could have 4 spokes giving greater strength and current capability. 5) Reduce the wire size for the polygon pours to 10mil, It gets rid of a few unclosed regions. 6) Move R8 further left, its quite near the board edge. Align it with R5 pad. Last thing. When you generate your gerbers, view them in a gerber viewer before you send them off. HTH Warren -- Viewed / responded via the newsgroup at news.cadsoft.de
