rich27 / UtProSat Payload board - History

Did some length matching with the highspeed lines. Board is ready to order!

Dr. Kenyon's changes have been made. Ready to place an order for this board.

Working on changing the stackup of the board and redoing the copper fills after the review I had with Dr. Kenyon. I'll have a lot more confidence with signal integrity once this is done.

Just added some via stitching to better couple the ground planes.

Board is done! Well, kind of. I still have to go through the DRC report to make sure I didn't miss anything. At the moment, everything is connected.

Had an almost complete board until I realized that USB wouldn't have worked because it didn't have an uninteruppted ground plane. Same goes for CAN. Also need to redo the layout for the stepper motor so that traces are short as possible.

Almost done with the board. Have to resolve USB routing and CAN. Thinking of removing the buffer circuit and making that off board or just add test points to everything.

I'm so close to finishing this board. I'll definitly have a prototype by Thursday/Friday. Still have to figure out USB and CAN diff pairs for the MCU and then power planes.
