I recently completed my first PCB design and have sent it for manufacturing. It is a 2 layer board. I did not use any pours on either the top or bottom layer. Should I have added them?
I do not know whether my board will work or not. I was rushed and it is possible there is a mistake on it that will cause me to redo it. If I have to do this, should I add pours to the top and bottom layers? Should one pour be 3V3 and the other be GND? Or both GND. Or only a GND pour on the bottom? How do I get the pour connected to either 3V3 or GND? Is there some way to tell the router that the top pour is 3V3 and the bottom pour is GND? Actually I don't think this is possible because I think the pours have to be added after the board is routed.
I would certainly appreciate a bit of help here. Thanks in advance!
