Today I started off by completely organizing my project files because things were getting way too messy to actually work efficiently. Once that was cleaned up, I ran the schematic-to-PCB sync in KiCad to pull all my components into the PCB editor, which immediately helped me catch a few footprint issues. I realized I had accidentally mixed up the footprint for my DRV8329 driver chip with my MCU, so I went back and properly assigned the QFN footprint for the AT32 MCU and imported the custom library folder for the Bourns CRE2512 current shunt resistor. I also sorted out the final connector footprints, adding a 3-pin JST-SH vertical connector for the flight controller interface signals like DSHOT and raw power, plus solid through-hole test pads for the three motor phase outputs. After clearing out all the sync errors, every single component from the MCU down to the connectors has a valid physical footprint attached. The schematic is officially completely finished for real this time, and I am finally ready to jump straight into component placement and routing on the PCB.
