Layout complete?

After a couple more hours over the past two nights, I think my layout is complete. I have one more thing to verify–need to make sure the pad layout is correct for the TLC29282, but other than that, I think I’m ready. SSOP-24 looks REALLY small. I don’t think I’d have any chance of getting that etched properly with my home etching technique. I only hope OSH Park can etch that small!

I’m also nervous about having them drill the center hole since the center of balance may be off from where I’ve predicted. This is the same center I used on my previous board, so I have some experience that suggests it’s correct, but it could be off. Then again, they’ll do a much better job of drilling this in the right place than I will. What’s the worst that can happen? It’ll be off balance a little?

This is the layout I consider "almost final". I need to go over it just a little more, but I think this is close!
