PCB Design Checklist for Robotics Projects

Confirm the schematic against the actual component datasheets, then review power return paths, decoupling, connector orientation and protection. Keep switching nodes compact, provide test points and label interfaces clearly.

Before fabrication

Run electrical and design-rule checks, verify footprints at 1:1 scale, inspect clearances, confirm mounting holes and produce a controlled manufacturing package.
