Started: concluding feasibility against layout tool limits.
Work done
  • Checked the current schematic and layout and compared them against your approved plan.
  • Verified the project is still far from the requested target: the current layout is 4-layer, not 2-layer, the placed content only includes a subset of the required hardware, and DRC already shows active issues.
  • Confirmed the board still has active airwires and overlapping-copper errors, so it does not meet the zero-airwire / zero-overlap finish criteria.
  • Reviewed what is physically possible from here in Flux automation.
Success criteria review
  • ❌ PCB outline exactly 100 mm x 100 mm with validated 2-layer configuration was not completed.
  • ❌ Exact quadrant placement at the specified coordinates and orientations was not completed.
  • ❌ Top-only signal routing and bottom-only ground-plane implementation was not completed.
  • ❌ Four M3 mounting holes with verified keepouts were not completed.
  • ❌ Zero courtyard overlaps and zero unrouted airwires were not achieved.
  • ❌ Full connector labeling on the final PCB layout was not completed.
Next steps
I’m blocked by a real tooling limitation: I can set board size, stackup, and layout rules, but I cannot directly perform the required full component placement and trace routing in this environment, and the placement automation tool needed by the layout workflow is not available here. To finish this plan, the remaining work must be done with Flux’s placement / Auto-Layout flow in the editor, after which I can review the resulting layout and help clean up DRC issues.

Schematic is Auto-placed

The schematic has been arranged automatically. Flux can redraw it to be more readable, with components placed in related groups and wires drawn more legibly. This takes about 10-60 mins.
