Altium Develop lets you trim a stackup, swap out an obsolete part, and get a manufacturing quote on the leaner board without leaving your project workspace: https://www.altium.com/develop?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=one-minute-pcb-design-reviews&utm_content=shrink-this-drone-pcb-to-6-layers This drone PCB design review takes a miniature flight controller from eight layers down to six without giving up any functionality. Tech Consultant Zach Peterson walks through the block diagram and 3D view, then spots a 5 V regulator that can be deleted, an obsolete buzzer to swap, and silkscreen landing on exposed copper where the vias need tenting. He shows how routing from the surplus layers can move onto the existing signal layers so two layers come out of the stackup entirely. If you are laying out a compact flight controller or any dense multilayer PCB, this is a quick lesson in cutting layer count and board cost. 💡 Watch Next: • Wireless Flight Control Done Right! | 1 Min PCB Design Review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9yOIO_pJXEo • Need Some Tenting! | 1 Min PCB Design Review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9fnyf6wCMc • Getting Started with 6 Layer Boards | High-Speed Design: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bobx-cOQ50Y • PCB Stackup Design Process Thought Process Explained!: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d8PTYfEzLmY 🔹 Connect with Zach: Want your design reviewed by Zach?
