A PCB Layout Is Easier to Build When It Is Easy to Read

A PCB layout isn't only for the PCB manufacturer.

Months later, you'll probably open the same design again to make a revision, fix a bug, or add a new feature.

That's one reason I try to keep my layouts as readable as possible. I group related components together, keep routing organized, and avoid making the board look more complicated than it needs to be.

A clean layout doesn't guarantee a better circuit, but it makes reviewing, debugging, and future revisions much easier.

I've found that if I can understand my own layout quickly after not looking at it for a while, it's probably organized well enough.
