Net Color Scheme Assignment
0:12
I identified the net groups and documented a concrete color hierarchy, but the current layout rule surface is not exposing a confirmed per-net color write path. A dry run showed
Layout Color targets the board appearance, not individual nets, so I did not apply a risky global change. I also found active layout cleanup issues: many airwires, floating copper, and undriven VIN nets on U3 and U5.25 days

Work done
- Reviewed the AvocAudio layout net structure and identified the named critical nets, including
GND,+3V3,+1V1,SD_CLK,QSPI_SCLK,QSPI_SD0..3, andQSPI_SS - Ran layout annotation to classify the current nets into ground, power, high-speed, and low-speed groups
- Defined a concrete visual hierarchy and documented it in Design Notes
- Validated the current layout state and found active airwires, floating copper, and missing power-drive issues on U3 and U5
Success criteria review
- ❌ All critical nets are clearly indicated with high-contrast colors
- ❌ Buses and control signals show moderate emphasis with distinct colors
- ❌ All other nets display a neutral, muted color ensuring layout readability
- ❌ The project’s net color settings are consistently applied and validated on the PCB layout
Next steps
I was able to classify the nets and define the full color scheme, but I could not apply it because the available layout rule interface does not expose a working per-net color write path in this project. A dry run showed that
Layout Color targets the board appearance instead of individual nets, and net-selector rule probes did not match writable net nodes. If this capability becomes available, I can apply the documented palette directly and re-validate it.Set the net colors
Use dark theme colors
Prioritize audio clocks
Mute default nets
