  • I also just saw how they places their vbat and gnd on your main chip, I don’t think I would put any there either unless it asks for it.

    What are you exactly saying here? You wouldn’t put vias behind those pads?

    Just saw your comment on the PCB size. In that case I would definitely go with a four layer board to avoid issues (heat and signal integrity).

    Yep, I’ve also done some tests with ground planes on both layers, and it comes out sparse to say the least. Problem is, I have never made a 4-layer board, do you have any resources on those I can learn from? Are there any particular things to pay attention to? How do I “organize” layers? Which ones do I use for traces and which ones for power planes?

    If you have pics of the schematic, I can take a deeper look at it. Cool project, first time I see that chip.

    Here’s a quick screenshot, in the original post I linked the git repo which includes all kicad files. It’s rough atm, I haven’t made it look good yet
