Title: Ground Planes
Post by: skypn on February 20, 2022, 07:00:28 PM
Do they help. Should I try and incorporate them in my designs, and are they ever harmful? I make my boards by isolation routing on an CNC mill, so there is a whole LOT of copper left sitting there ;).

They are helpful, you just have to watch for ground plane islands. Sometimes a section of ground gets cut off from the plane, by traces.
