Hi Alastair, thanks for following my #PoE-FeatherWing project!

  Are you sure? yes | no

Alastair Young wrote 11/13/2019 at 21:39 • point

You are welcome. I'm a relative novice at this stuff. I'm eager to see and learn from what tricks you use routing that thing. I see nowhere I could put traces. I'm guessing you are going more than two layers? At the moment my limit is SOIC parts (0.5" pin spacing) so I can get tracks between the pads on two layer boards.

  Are you sure? yes | no

Patrick Van Oosterwijck wrote 11/13/2019 at 21:45 • point

Yes, I tried to see if I could do 2 layer but it became apparent pretty quickly that that was not going to fly. ;)  4 layer seems to work up till now.

  Are you sure? yes | no
