Seeking Feedback and Improvements for My New Design – Suggestions Welcome!
I don't know much about the circuit, but I suspect if you hooked everything up correctly it will work. That being said, a few gut feelings on this:
1 - I wonder how having different trace widths will affect things, such as in and out of C8.
2 - I believe you're supposed to put the crystal as close as possible to the chip. You also may be able to find a physically smaller crystal if this matters to you.
3 - Maybe fill the top with a ground plane along with the bottom?
4 - If you do that, you could consider using vias to stitch both planes together in multiple points.
5 - Consider adding an onboard LED for easier troubleshooting etc.
6 - When you order, consider getting a stencil or even having the board house assemble it. Yet to get the board back, but just put in a PCBA order with JLCPCB and it was surprisingly economical, though I left the through-hole components off.
Again, those are my gut feelings on the board. Take them for what they are worth!
