## Layout the board
1. Setup the layers of the board.
1. RU CNC: Suggest doing it in one layer with jumper wires. Autoroute has an option for this.
3. Most projects: 2 layer is cheapest and enough for most projects
3. Fit in small space or lots of connections: 4 layers is commonly used on most modern devices
2. Manually route wires (or use Autorouting, my favorite) to place all the wires.
2. If you need mounting holes, create Pads with a hole of the size you want
