Powerboard V1.3

This is the third iteration of the powerboard(1.3) that I've been using for work with solar cells. It was meant to be a smart version using a 2211 to monitor the voltage levels via comparator.  The other part of this project board was to also test 2 things. First, printing of the board to get an idea of the size and test the layout. Second was to test a smt crystal. Both of these objectives were reached, but...



Unfortunately there are several issues with the board, most of which can be worked around, but with the loss of designed functionality. I will admit, this is one one poor design and will need to be resolved. With this, I can actually add some new hw functionality, though I'll be doing a bit more checking next time.
