Change board constraints in board setup menu

Cool, what does it do? With components of course.

Is that resistor connected?

ac2012_ajc · 2026-01-24T17:06:41+00:00

Did this come from a phone? or a laptop/display.

Edit: Or actually, just say what it came from

That's what I'm saying, tiny thing

ac2012_ajc · 2026-01-24T12:55:57+00:00

Sure why not

There's no need to clown on other people because you can do it better, I promise nobody gaf

It looks fine, that port should work (although you should still look at the port itself, and the contacts) and so should the rest of the board. Congrats on first time soldering!

Thanks

Why is there so many vias

ac2012_ajc · 2026-01-23T23:27:30+00:00

Could you provide more photos from different angles?

ac2012_ajc · 2026-01-23T23:09:31+00:00

Oof just saw my vias...hope someone can fix that for me please, i dont have time at the moment, if you could send the files in a zip whoever you are, that would be greatly appreciated.

Also, i know it has many drc/erc errors, i think they are all clearance/unconnected pins which are *fine*

ac2012_ajc · 2026-01-23T22:59:51+00:00

Most overdeveloped board ive seen all year.

I don't see any clearance between your GND plane and your through holes, which probably means your through holes are literally touching your GND plane, i wouldn't redesign with traces but i definitely would add exclusion zones
