Oh meant to ask...do you prefer thermals on vias and pads? I think I should do them its easy to do, otherwise soldering to ground plans is a "inert expletive here"!
Also I have the sensor package pads/pins as 1.27mm dia with a drill of .6mm I looked at the SIL package measurements and it lists the SIL pins at .51 nom but I just saw that it can be up to .64. I might need to increase my hole size. Also my pads appear quite a bit larger than the Ukrainian forum images. I like bigger pads and it doesn't interfere...I hope.
I'll fix the drill to .7mm for the sensor....
edit:
Done sensor pin drill holes .7mm. Images loaded to show differences
Also got my 63/37 solder...very very nice. Doing a practice board, the joints are just so clean and shiny. Perfect filleting and much better amount with .56mm solder (could have gone smaller? I feel I've been far to lazy using 60/40 for too long.
