Two projects in one. I mostly just wanted to make a top module/shield for my Ardumite. Note the button, jack, FTDI and ICSP stuff points out to the side and the LED is visible through a gloryhole of sorts. This module board can be either an Amiga Drawbridge or an Input Lag Tester ...
After stitching is always a good practice to perform a DRC.As you can see some implanted vias may still overlap with some other PCB elements (tracks, zone, pads, vias etc) at this development stage the removal of conflicting vias is up to the user with future releases the implant process...

When working with smaller boards it’s common practice to group them together into panels. This is done to speed up PCB assembly as multiple boards can have solder paste applied, go through a pick and place machine, and be sent into the reflow oven as a single unit. Often this is done...
What if I told you that you might never need to draw a new footprint again? Such is my friend’s impression of the tool that she’s shown me and I’m about to show you in turn, having used this tool for a few projects, I can’t really disagree!
