content: Hello,I am trying to root this card but I don't find how I can plug the latest pins.For the moment I did this:http://www.noelshack.com/2016-42-1476700844-routage.pngThis is my schematic:http://www.noelshack.com/2016-42-1476700021-schemas.pngSomeone would have an idea to finish my rooting?If it can help you I give you my complete project:https://1fichier.com/?a966ge1oxr(click on Accéder au téléchargement)Thanks you for your help

content: You might gain a few extra routes if you make R2 horizontal, thereby avoiding the trace that essentially surrounds and cuts off U1

content: You might also want to check which side of the board you have placed you components. Blue usually means the bottom layer in which case it looks like you have U1 on the top side and all other components on the bottom side

content: You can fit more than one trace under a DIP package, and a trace between the pins. Also it looks like you could use some practice laying things out to start with - often its a case of roughly placing parts, then moving them as you need to, going back and forth until everything is routed and parts are in positions that are convenient. Also it helps to have different foot prints for resistors that have different spacing - also very handy for working out stripboard layouts, although with the cost of PCB's these days its not done as much.I don't think anyone here will do it for you, and I don't use Altium designer anyway but have you tried using the autorouter as a template? That will at least get everything connected, then you can work on removing the need for a second layer by moving things about. PCB design is something I was never taught, and I'm not sure one can be taught *how* to do it, only the restrictions and best practices, but after 10 or so boards it gets a lot easier. And I used to etch my own boards, mostly single sided so I can attest to the use of 0-ohm jumpers (1206 can fit two traces under it easily for DIY boards).I say save the unrouted board with the 'important' things in place, start routing, if you get stuck, either continue shifting things about or start from scratch again.
