[I've modified my PCB with your advice] -- GOOD DEAL!!!I've modified my PCB with your advice, thank you ! Now I'll build the "receiver" side and hope everything will work !
I'll keep you updated
[I'll keep you updated] -- GOOD DEAL!!! -- However, should you actually be serious in learning how to do what you're doing now correctly.....it would be wise for you to follow my previous suggestion, which is: >> If you would like to.....send me your "EasyEDA" schematic and PCB-design files and I will take the time to tidy things up and send them back to you. A few KiCAD members on this forum have done that with their KiCAD PCB-design files as they were learning how to use KiCAD and learn PCB-design. It will be far more easier for me to just re-do your design and let you see things than it will be for me to have to write a small booklet here trying to clearly explain everything that's wrong here and how to correct all of your errors using the written word. Your call..... (NOTE: Just simply take all of your EasyEDA design files and ZIP them up. Then, just attach the ZIP file to your response here. Or, you can PM me and include your ZIP file there, instead)!!!
As I have already done with a few KiCAD users on this forum who have sent me their KiCAD schematic and PCB files, I have completely unrouted their layouts and have performed a whole new components placement, so they can see for themselves with their own layout design -- HOW -- much better and differently their own layout can be.....>> IF << they only knew what to do and how to do it. By them reviewing and studying my redesign of their own layouts, they then have a better understanding of things just by seeing how things were done different. In essence, it's a classic case of "it's the same thing, only different"!!! Your call.....
Here's an example of one of my PCB-designs. And.....keep in mind while scrolling through this.....this PCB-design was routed -- one track at a time by hand!!! The routing here was -- NOT -- done by a PCB "auto-router" program!!! Due to certain sensitivities of many of the tracks that comprised this circuit and where they could or could not be routed, I had to click-on each ratsnest net individually and then route it in accordance to the specifications put forth by the design engineer one at a time. This PCB-layout was done by me back in 1996 for a data-telecommunications company:
>> LAYER-1 -- TOPSIDE ROUTES:
>> LAYER-2 -- GROUND PLANE:
>> LAYER-3 -- INNER-ROUTING-1:
>> LAYER-4 -- INNER-ROUTING-2:
>> LAYER-5 -- POWER-PLANE:
>> LAYER-6 -- BOTTOMSIDE ROUTES:
>> So, again.....if you would like to see how your PCB-layout could be "the same thing, only different" and then learn from it.....send me your EasyEDA schematic and PCB-design files. Your call.....
