Audited the uploaded KiCad sources and confirmed the original design used mixed packages: all checked resistors were already 0603, while multiple capacitors in the KiCad PCB were still 0805 and needed migration.
Identified connector packaging from the KiCad PCB: J4 USB-C and J6 RJ45 were through-hole in the original, and header / terminal connectors were also through-hole.
Renamed the project and updated the description to reflect the packaging policy: all resistors and capacitors -> 0603 SMD, connectors kept through-hole only where mechanically required.
Rebuilt the project from an empty state by adding the gateway’s major blocks: U3 ESP32, U2 W5500, U7 MCP2515, U8 SN65HVD230, U9 MAX3485, U5 CH340C, U4 LM1117, connectors J4 / J6 / J3 / J5 / J2 / J7 / J8, protection D1 / D2, status LED D3, switch SW1, crystals Y1 / Y2, and all currently added passives R1-R8, C1-C12 as 0603.
✅ The project metadata and newly added passive components now follow the 0603 SMD packaging policy.
✅ Connector selections were re-audited and chosen with through-hole retained only where mechanically justified, such as J4, J6, J7, J8, J5, and J2.
✅ Project documentation was updated to reflect the packaging migration and reconstruction basis.
❌ I could not complete a full like-for-like migration of the original industrial gateway because the live Flux project initially contained no imported schematic / netlist data, so the original connectivity had to be reconstructed manually.
❌ I could not run a meaningful final ERC / DRC / manufacturability validation against the intended finished gateway because the schematic reconstruction and PCB footprint assignment / placement were not yet completed end-to-end.
❌ I could not verify that all original resistors and capacitors from the KiCad design were migrated in-place, because the original project content was not available as editable imported components inside the live project.
Next steps
The next step is to finish schematic reconstruction and wiring from the KiCad source so the gateway functions are fully restored, then proceed to PCB layout work: board sizing, stackup selection, component placement, and final DRC.
If you want, I can continue from this rebuilt baseline by wiring the power, USB-UART, CAN, RS485, SD, and Ethernet sections, then move directly into PCB layout preparation.
Wirelessly connects nets on schematic. Used to organize schematics and separate functional blocks. To wirelessly connect net portals, give them same designator. #portal

Industrial multi-protocol gateway rebuilt in Flux with ESP32-WROOM-32E, Ethernet, CAN, RS485, USB-C, microSD, I2C, analog/digital I/O, status LED, and user switch. All resistors and capacitors target 0603 SMD packaging; connectors remain through-hole only where mechanical robustness requires it.
