Admittedly, I spent a bit too much time on this board - I wanted it to be perfect. I know there will need to be another revision before its ready to be called "done" but I wanted to give the first run my best effort. This has pushed me behind in terms of continuing to work on software, and before I do focus back on the software there will be a big push to finalize the materials needed on my BOM.

Hi, great project! It really shows that you put a lot of time into this layout, all those curved traces must have taken ages! One thing that caught my eye though was the thermal reliefs on the power components; I'm sure you've already done this, but if it were me, I would fill over those at least with some wider tracking, if not with a complete fill. I'm guessing you could have 20 amps or more going through some of those connections.
Just a suggestion, keep it up!

Are you sure? yes | no
