Custom Donut PCB Design
Now place all components on the PCB. The board shape is a donut/annular ring, outer diameter 160mm, inner diameter 110mm. Place all LED components in two circular arrays on the top side: 50 WS2812B at 150mm diameter and 30 WS2812B at 130mm diameter. Place all other components on the bottom side compactly between 6 o'clock and 10 o'clock position.
Thought for 4 mins 37 sec
Done.
- Placed the LED and decoupling arrays in two circles:
- 50 devices at 150 mm diameter
- 30 devices at 130 mm diameter
- Placed the remaining electronics as a compact cluster in the 6 to 10 o'clock region.
- Set the board to a 160 mm circular 2-layer layout for placement.
Note:
- The current layout shape workflow only accepted a single continuous outline, so I could not encode the 110 mm inner donut cutout directly in this placement step.
- The component placement follows your intended annular geometry, but the actual inner cutout still needs to be applied separately.
