Agent mode is needed to place and group the PCB components. Click the button to continue; because you have comment-only access, we’ll also need an editable fork or owner-granted edit permission.
I’ll create an editable fork if required, inspect the board and component geometry, then place everything in functional groups and check for overlaps and out-of-bounds parts.

PiStrument - grouped placement
Raspberrypi Pico-based sampler, sequencer + drum machine w/ an embedded speaker, Adafruit I2S amplifier and momentary step switches, evoking the tr808 synthesizer
I created an editable fork and confirmed the board is 160 × 100 mm, two-layer, with 32 physical footprints. I’m now reorganizing it into mechanical controls, compute/display, audio, and power groups while preserving mounting-hole positions.
The fork is being placed now. The board is dense because the speaker and display consume most of the area, so the placement pass is iterating to clear mechanical overlaps without breaking the control and audio grouping.
Placed all 32 PCB footprints on an editable fork: PiStrument – grouped placement. Controls, resistors, display/compute, audio, power, and mechanical parts are grouped; placement has zero body overlaps, keepout violations, or out-of-bounds parts.

Existing traces were not rerouted after placement, leaving 59 airwires plus legacy dangling/floating copper.
Routing congestion remains near SIPO1/PICO and the resistor row.
