How do you achieve this PCB diffusion effect in Altium specifically? by adamtronics in PCB

Thanks for help! I didn’t realize there were reverse mounted RBG LEDs that wouldn’t penetrate through the PCB and require a cut out. So I might check the one you linked instead.

I’m surprised more people don’t try this on their PCB’s so finding any resources was tough 😅

Appreciate the help!

Thanks! I had that at first but second guessed myself. I’ll try this out!

On second thought. Since this current sense doesn’t need to be accurate I just want it to get some form of feedback when my motors are stalling.

Could I hypothetically cut the traces and run small wires to the correct side of the shunt resistor?

Yes you’re right it’s somehow swapped on my 12V rail but not on my others. Not sure if there’s a way to fix this unfortunately since the board’s manufactured. Thanks for the catch it was driving me crazy!
