Preliminary Gun PCB Layout

No traces directly under the transceiver◦ There are small exposed traces on the underside

Need a ground plane opposite the transceiver and antenna◦ Should be as large as possible◦ Acts as second pole for the antenna

RF Layout Considerations

Should be centrally placed for best access to other components

Needs five pins sent out to a header for in circuit programming

Microcontroller Layout Considerations

Power traces for all components should meet in as few places as possible

If there’s space, have ground planes under all chips to reduce noise

Any ground pin near a ground plane should be connected with a via

Power Supply Layout Considerations
