PCB Design for Cat Deterrent
Worked
I’m blocked: there are no available ACUs, so I can’t execute more routing or cleanup right now.
What I completed:
- Rechecked the current layout/routing state.
- Tried direct routing on the tight ATtiny85 ↔ ISP area.
- Re-ran placement optimization to open routing space around J4/ISP, U1, reset parts, and nearby passives.
- Final check after that showed the board is still not complete: 28 airwires, 12 dangling trace warnings, and 8 overlapping-copper errors remain.
What remains:
- Delete or repair the overlapping copper first.
- Finish routing the dense ISP/reset/pot/keep-alive nets.
- Finish ground and remaining 3.3 V / 5 V branches.
- Run final airwire/DRC checks before manufacturing export.
The layout is not ready for fabrication yet; once ACUs are available, the fastest path is copper cleanup first, then finish the remaining routes.
Thought for 10 sec
I’ll read the repair instructions from the attached file, compare them with the current PCB state, then apply the required cleanup and verify the result.
