 1. (Optional) Run the Design Rules Checker. Check the errors. Most of them can be ignored/excluded.
     - All "Footprint not found in libraries" can be ignored completely. This is due to how Ergogen generates the PCB.
-    - The "Board edge clearance" violations are mostly about the cutout for the LED chips.
+2. Route all signal traces.
-2. Add VCC and GND planes.
+3. Run the Design Rules Checker and make sure there are no (relevant) violations.
-    - Menu: `File -> Board Setup`
+4. Add some fancy text on the `F.Silkscreen` layer.
-    - On "Physical Stackup", change the copper layer number to 4.
-    - On "Board Editor Layers", change the type of `In1.Cu` and `In2.Cu` to "power plane".
-    - NOTE: `In1.Cu` will be the VCC plane, `In2.Cu` will be a GND plane.
-3. Add filled zones to the VCC and GND planes.
-    - Select the `In1.Cu` layer.
-    - Use the "Add a filled zone" tool and draw a rectangle that contains the entire board. Assign the zone to VCC.
-    - Repeat the same process for the `In2.Cu` layer and assign the zone to GND.
-    - The zones don't need to be filled just yet.
-4. Add another filled zone on the `B.Cu` layer and assign it to GND.
-5. Route all signal traces (no VCC or GND yet). Recommended order:
-    - Matrix rows (on `B.Cu`)
-    - Matrix columns (with vias on `F.Cu`)
-    - NeoPixel data pins
-    - Connect everything to the MCU.
-6. Route VCC traces.
-    - Connect the VCC traces between the NeoPixel chips and the capacitors with a 0.750 mm track.
-    - Place free-standing vias (Ctrl+Shift+V) in the middle of the just created VCC traces.
-7. Route GND traces.
-    - Draw short GND traces with a 0.750 mm track and a via at the end next to the GND pads of the NeoPixel chips.
-8. Fill all zones by pressing B. Make sure that all nets are routed.
-9. Run the Design Rules Checker and make sure there are no (relevant) violations.
-10. Add some fancy text on the `F.Silkscreen` layer.
