Slow progress on routing. I'll get there...someday. Found some differences and errors between schematic and board. So sometimes laying tracks...ripping them up, moving components points of a mm then re-doing it, more than once, is the work flow order. But, over all a much better layout than cam85m.

Also, so far it's easier to lay these tracks, compared to cam85m, changing this board to a different layout shouldn't be a major hurdle in the future. All that said....I'm not a fan of placing IC on the bottom layer...a few resistors and caps are ok but it gets complicated with ICs etc on base layer. I feel the PCB size is about on the limit...for my meagre skills. Also the board size limits adding things like sensor orthogonality jackscrews.

Having a ulnar nerve decompress surgery on Wednesday...might be not able to do do more on this for a week from then. lets hope I can get most done prior.
