✅ Two new 26-pin headers were added and placed with 22.86 mm spacing
✅ 5V_MAIN, GND, USB D+ and D-, and J3 through J10 mappings were connected to the new headers
✅ The schematic and layout now reflect the new Milk-V Duo S header placeholder approach
⚠️ The plan requested MAVLINK_FC on header 2 pins 15 and 16, but the project currently exposes only MAVLINK_FC_RX on J12 pin 4. I mapped that existing signal to J14 pin 16. There was no matching TX net present to place on pin 15 without inventing a new connection.
Next steps
The new header footprints are placed, but the PCB still has unrouted airwires for these newly connected nets. If you want, I can continue by preparing the remaining signal plan around J13 and J14 for manual routing.
I can help prepare routing by inspecting the layout, checking airwires/DRC, and setting layout rules, but I don’t currently have a direct routing control tool exposed here to finish “route all wires” for you. The available guidance for project modification shows routing as part of the PCB layout workflow, with inspect -> setup -> annotate -> group -> ui-place -> route, and emphasizes using layout-oriented tools for that workflow
What I can do next:
inspect the current PCB and tell you what remains unrouted
set or tighten layout rules before routing
review DRC/airwires after you run Auto-Layout / Auto-Route
help optimize placement around J13 and J14 to make routing easier
If you want, I can do the most useful next step now: audit the remaining unrouted nets and placement issues.
