PCB Design Review Request
Besides mentioning that I should use Power labels instead of net labels for the power path, take a look.
I used Net Labels first and it is a pain to change it to power labels as I get errors in the DRC for the pcb so id rather have the schematic mention errors.
Either way I would like your opinion on improvements on the pcb if any, I know the schematic could be better, I have received plenty of feedback for that already...
For the pcb, I have two external Phoenix contact connectors for the solar cell on VIN_DC and supercapacitors I will be adding to VBAT. If anyone has a solar cell recommendation too that would be great. I am thinking of Panasonic AM-1815CA as of right now.
I have a connector as well for flashing the Nordic chip, I plan to hook it up to the nrF52840-DK to flash it. I know it requires power from this chip in order to be flashed.
I have traces on Layer 1 and 4, 2 and 3 are solid ground planes. I have all components placed and feel free to also reach out with questions.
Let me know what you guys think and if I should consider some stuff, if you feel like my design looks good for the most part, please also let me know as it is reassuring to hear from another person. Thank you in advance and appreciate everyone's feedback!
