Set Design rules (Find all possible manufacturers and use the worse design rules from all the manufacturers combined): done

Make the biggest board size possible with the most affordable price to set a maximum size for the board using the Edge.Cuts layer: done

Don't forget the mounting holes for the boards: done

Set the global minimum design rules: done

Use net classes for these common track widths: done

Assign all net points to net classes: done

Draw drafts testing different configurations of main modules, taking into account power supply lines, analog signals, digital signals, different grounds and the layer to use in each in such a way to avoid interference and many other problems: done

Position the biggest components, for each module first, then position components according to function and datasheet recommendations:: done

Construct schematic modules as PCB modules: done

Move them to final position: done

Connect them: done

Create big GND and power lines: done

Create GND planes, move lines to allow planes to permate more: done

Do via stitching: done

Do DRC checks: done

Add logos: done

Relocate vias to not disturb logos: done

Create division lines to clarify and present modules location: done

Add project name and board revision number: done

Check distances of external boards (in case of multiple connector external boards): done

Assemble external boards with 3d viewer to check mechanical and assembly problems visually (pay attention to connectors and big components): done

Check orientation of pins of stm32f4 in passthrough and all: done

Annotate in PCB special pins used in open-coroco from stm32f4: done

Edit Additional indication (port names) naming: done
