Received notification from "PCB Placement" that it finished — picking the work back up.
Thought for 9 sec
The compact placement is complete. I’m reconciling the final coordinates and independently checking the 20×40 mm outline, component access, and placement DRC.
Worked for 1 min 13 sec
Created a compact 20 × 40 mm, 2-layer PCB and placed all components on top:
- LED centered at the front edge
- Battery connector centered at the rear
- Slide switch accessible along the side
- Resistor positioned beside the LED
Placement verification found no overlaps, out-of-bounds parts, or keepout violations. Three expected airwires remain because routing was not requested.
Suggested next steps
- Route the three connections.
- Add a ground copper fill.
- Clean up silkscreen labels and run final DRC.
Route and finalize
Clean silkscreen
Check enclosure fit
Prepare manufacturing files
