Space constraints and board routing

A project log for Linear Position Sensor for Actuators OpSo

Trying to make an easy to use but low cost linear position sensor without optical sensors. OpSo = Open Source

I finally had time to get the circuit into Kicad and found all the appropriate chip footprints. The linear distance requirements of the sensor are dictating the board dimmensions. I'm running into issues with via spacing and routiing, even with the small components. It looks like I will need to test the slightly stronger model of the sensor instead Hopefully I gain a few mm of board space. Here is a picture of the madness.

Yeah I know, picture of a monitor and all...
