Thank you very much1. U4 pin-8 CD4017 is GND. Where is the connection?
2. Are you sure U4 pin-1 is connected correctly?
3. Where is the GND connection at Power 6-9 volt input?
Even though a trace meets design rules, I like to give it max clearance on all sides. Where there is space, use it.
Traces should come off pads orthogonally, i.e. straight horizontal or vertical.
Trace at U5 pin-7 is messy. Pick the direct route and use vias if you must.
As a general guideline, I like to keep traces on one side running horizontally and vertically on the other side.
I avoid running traces in between pins if there is an easy route.
Well. It should be through the pour filled thing. All gnd pins should.Are you going to use any filled zones?
Or do you have it turned off?
Is C3 connected.?
Max.
I am not sure what that means. I think PCBnew (Kicad) shows the air lines (rats nest) by deafault and when I routed tracks the program guided me to the right place/pin. I am not sure what "schematic capture" is.Did you use schematic capture and rats nest to begin? This would catch routing errors.
Yes it came out clear. Ill try to route again.Have you done a "Design rules Check" of the board?
Max..
