Worked for 2 mins 56 sec
Blocked: I cannot create a true internal Edge.Cuts routed slot with the available PCB edit tools in this session.
What I did:
- Removed the earlier pad-style NPTH slot, because you clarified it must not be a pad or drilled hole.
- Did not resize, move components, reroute, or modify copper.
Current DRC after cleanup:
- Airwires: 0
- Overlapping copper: 0
- Floating copper / invalid layer / missing footprint errors: 0
- Remaining: 3 pre-existing dangling-trace warnings.
Why blocked:
- The available line/shape tools only support Top/Bottom layers.
- The board-outline tool supports a single closed board outline, not a separate internal Edge.Cuts milling path.
- So I cannot safely add the requested internal routed slot as true Edge.Cuts geometry from here.
You’ll need to add this one slot manually in the PCB editor / manufacturing mechanical layer:
- Centerline: X = -8.5mm
- Start: (-8.5mm, -60mm)
- End: (-8.5mm, +60mm)
- Routed slot width: 2mm
- Non-plated milling / Edge.Cuts layer.
Export the current Gerbers without the slot, and clearly note the manual slot requirement for fabrication.
Thought for 7 sec
I’ll export the current Gerbers as-is, without the slot, and state the manual milling-slot requirement clearly for fabrication.

Exported the current Gerbers without the isolation slot: glecs-v4p1-motor-starter-controller-gerbers.zip.
Manual fabrication requirement:
- Add a non-plated routed/milled slot on Edge.Cuts, not a drill pad.
- Centerline: X = -8.5mm
- Start: (-8.5mm, -60mm)
- End: (-8.5mm, +60mm)
- Slot width: 2mm
- Length: 120mm, leaving 10mm solid board bridges at top and bottom.
Pre-export DRC gate was clean: airwires = 0, overlapping copper = 0, missing footprints = 0, invalid layer = 0.

Schematic Review Status
Completed
- Added core GLECS V4.1 schematic components: STM32F103C8T6, LTE module substitute, 4V buck, 5V/3V3 regulators, ACS712 substitute, LM358-class conditioning op amp, relay, transistor driver, flyback diode, TVS, ZMPT101B, optocouplers, crystal, antenna connector, SIM connector, field connectors, SWD/UART headers, and key passives.
- Wired major named nets: +12V, +5V, +3V3, +4V, GND, relay control, relay HV contact nets, voltage sensing input, current ADC, STM32 crystal, SWD, debug UART, LTE UART/RF/power, and optocoupler inputs.
- Documented approved library substitutions in
component-substitutions.
Review Result
ERC still reports many warnings, primarily:
- Numerous unused pins on the A7672SA LASE_ substitute LTE module.
- J_CS_IN is only a 2-pin placeholder, but the specification requires a 4-pin current path connector.
- Some analog conditioning support parts still need final bias/gain wiring validation.
- D_STATUS LED still needs a series resistor and final GPIO assignment.
Blocking Items Before Layout/Gerbers
- Replace placeholder HV/current connectors with correctly rated exact connectors, especially 415VAC and 4-pin current path connectors.
- Confirm the selected A7672SA LASE_ pinout against the intended A7672S-FASE design before marking unused pins NC.
- Replace generic safety-critical snubber capacitor with certified Class-X2 630VAC part.
- Resolve ERC warnings before PCB placement/routing/export.
Safety Note
Because this design includes 415VAC motor-control wiring, layout and Gerber export should not proceed until HV connector ratings, isolation clearances, optocoupler barrier strategy, and safety-rated snubber components are confirmed.
