Received notification from "PCB Placement Layout" that it finished — picking the work back up.
Thought for 7 sec
The PCB placement executor completed, after I inspected the existing 160 × 100 mm default board and specified an 80 × 50 mm, 4-layer placement organized around the high-current path, current sensing, buck regulator, MCU, encoder conditioning, and edge-accessible connectors.
Open items:
- I could not read and independently reconcile the executor’s final report or run the required placement DRC because no ACUs are currently available.
- Placement still needs confirmation for zero overlaps, out-of-bounds parts, keepout violations, and correct connector accessibility.
- Routing has not started.
Check placement and DRC
Document placement constraints
