Other Things to Look Out For

  • Is everything on the silkscreen layer within the bounds of the board?

  • Make sure there’s an edge.cuts layer.

  • Connector choices: are they reasonable?

  • Footprints and pinout: check them for every IC and make sure that they are correct.

  • Are the decoupling caps actually next to the IC?
