MCUDogs! One more thing! This is more serious. Notice that on the top, the gate pads start on the left next to the edge. That is correct. But notice on the bottom. That same gate pad should be really close to the RIGHT side, but there is no gate pad near the right edge. I made that same mistake before. So, the tops and bottoms of each of the gate pads should coincide.

OK, now let's consider the bottom of the power section:
The 2 holes for the ground wires (which I have never had before, but would simplify the assembly process) should go just to the left of the 2nd gate pad (starting from the right side) and to the left of the 7th gate pad (starting from the right side). If you decide to do the holes, they should be big enough for maybe 16 gauge wire I think. I don't know the exact size. Can you find the hole sizes from the control board fab files? I don't have a way to read them.
