Footprint Inspection


The board needs both placement and routing: it has 91 airwires, 14 copper-overlap errors, and several parts extend beyond the circular outline. I’m correcting full-board placement first—preserving ENC1 exactly at the origin and the ESP32 antenna edge/keepout—then I’ll route the cleaned layout.

Received notification from "PCB Placement Cleanup" that it finished — picking the work back up.
The placement executor has finished; I’m reconciling its applied result against the hard centered-encoder, antenna, edge-access, overlap, and board-bound constraints now. If placement is valid, I’ll proceed directly into USB breakout, neckdowns, and auto-routing.
Placement auto-layout was applied and verified:
  • ENC1 is exactly (0.000, 0.000) mm
  • Zero component-body overlaps, out-of-board parts, keepout violations, or edge-placement violations
  • U1 antenna placement and edge connectors remain correctly constrained
Routing is blocked by pre-existing footprint defects: JP1 and U2 contain overlapping pads assigned to different nets. Auto-routing would remove those pins from their nets, so I stopped rather than corrupt connectivity. 90 airwires remain; correcting the authoritative footprints for JP1 and U2 is required before routing can continue.

For first USB-only flashing, hold BOOT, tap RESET, release RESET, then release BOOT to enter the ROM USB download mode. After valid firmware is installed, normal reset should enumerate USB CDC and HID automatically.
Notes
  • Encoder counts are raw quadrature transitions; divide/accumulate in firmware as desired for the accepted 24-detent mechanism.
  • CHG_N is low while charging. PGOOD_N is low when a valid USB input is detected.
  • Always set all PWM channels to zero before deep sleep.
  • Do not assign firmware behavior to LED2 or JP1; they form a hardwired 3V3 indicator path.
