I've reflowed my first PCB!
And definitely got a tear in my eye when the debugger was able to communicate with the mcu 🥳
How does it look? There are these weird looking white dots in the middle of the pads, is that normal?

Hi everyone,
I designed a breakout board for the Raytac AN54LQ-15 module (nRF54L15-based). It's part of a hobbyist project.
What it does:
Stack: 2-layer, most SMD will be assembled by PCBA , MCU module soldered by hand with a hotplate.
I'm looking for feedback, things I did wrong or overlooked.
Thanks!
Edit : specs can be found here https://www.raytac.com/document/index.php?index_m_id=28
Hello !
I just wanted to shared this project because I'm proud of it and it took me a million hours to do ! Ok, I may exaggerate a tiny bit !
Hardware:
Software — ThermalGuard usermod:
I wrote a custom usermod that automatically manages brightness based on temperature, no Home Assistant or external automation needed. It triggers WLED presets (or sets brightness directly) based on configurable thresholds:
Hysteresis on every transition to avoid flickering. All thresholds and presets configurable directly from the WLED UI.
Lots of improvements to be made on the PCB itself for the next version. I also need to learn and improve on cable management !
The setup shown below has 700+ leds.
Thanks a lot to all the people who make and maintain WLED and everyone who post their setup, this is a been huge source of inspiration and motivation ❤️
Received and soldered my first custom PCB 🎉
It's 2oz copper pour so had to step up my soldering game but this is so fun!
Extra point because it works and did not go in flames 😁
