text
tracemaker route e3-u7-boxed-in.kicad_pcb -o out.kicad_pcb --only-net +VB --work 300000 --threads 1 --no-gpu --no-kb
-> routed 0/1 (U7.2 -> U7.2 boxed in)
tracemaker route ... --soft-copper-graphics
-> routed 1/1

Cause: the board file draws net-less copper polygons (gr_poly on F.Cu and B.Cu) over the pad area; the router treats board copper graphics as fixed copper that nothing may touch. --soft-copper-graphics (doc 05 §48, D127) ignores them. (Moving the module away from the polygons also made it route, which was the clue.)

Questions

How big is the Sample196 bare PCB?

It measures 27.1 × 27.1 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Sample196 bare use?

59 parts. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the Sample196 bare KiCad files?

From the DingoOz/TraceMaker repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is report/captures/sample196_bare.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Sample196 bare design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the GPL-3.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
