Creating Ground Vias
You can check the Gerbers to see what is really there, which is something you must do before you send it to fab anyhow. I use the free SW, Gerbv.

Creating Ground Vias
Ok, interesting. I ran ground fill and popped it into the SeeedStudio gerber viewer (this is where I’ll order my boards). Those ground points are gone (great!), but what I’m seeing now is the traces...

Once you have set a ground seed on any net then everything in that net is part of the ground. If you do not want your actual ground pins to be connected then you would use copper fill. This is what is...

Ok, so likewise if I choose copper fill and inspect the nets, my ground vias are clearly connected to the copper fill. But what is the fill grounded to? My hunch was that one of the ground pins on my...

Awesome! Is there anyway to get the ICSP pins on there? Thank you both!

Hey welcome back! Hope your ankle is better. So my schematic is right…? Can you take a look at the link I posted above and confirm this is the correct part? If it is, there must be something that went...

Nothing automatic. You could search for “generic” in the parts bin and then use a generic header. In the inspector you can change it to double row.

As old_grey said copper fill is not attached to anything. Only ground fill connects to the ground fill seed. If you want copper fill but connected you will have to connect it yourself after running...

You can use the ruler to position the std header, like sub said, other wise you have to get the UNO svg and delete what you don’t want and import it into a new part.

Thanks, it all makes sense now. So it seems that if I’m choosing to go the Ground Fill way, I don’t even need the additional vias, I can just set ground fill seeds on each component. Is that ideal?

Since all of your grounds should be connected into a single net by traces you should only need to set the seed on a single point and everything that is connected to that net will be part of the ground...

The different pin numbers on the socket confused me. miso (DO on the socket) shouldn’t be level translated and is in the wrong direction. DO is the data back to the micro and will make this not work....

Schematic to breadboard layout
There is no such thing as a good auto router, even with $9K software, so everyone should be manually routing. This took days, but it was worth it.

I know auto routing is a bad idea, I have tried moving the pins about for the pcb layout. I have moved them on BB view then corrected the schematic. The schematic isn’t the tidiest but I didn’t have...
