Flip the RPI in v2 and use ground plane to heat sink the CPU

Open 57Bravo opened this issue 1 year ago • 0 comments

I'm a fan of filling with ground plane. In v2, I think you should fill both sides with ground plane. If you did that, you could flip the RPI over and heat sink it to the ground plane. If you stitch the edges with via, it will help transfer heat from one side to the other.
