Flip the button and the blue LED to the other side of the board. #47

If you are going to implement a visible window for the Betz board LED, then your reset/pair LED and button should be on the same side of the board. You've checked it and there's room.

Test it by flipping them on your prototype.
Change the PCB design in Pad2Pad to indicate mounting positions correctly.
If they are on the other side of the board in the Pad2Pad design, then they can be placed closer to the middle of the board instead of the edge, since there's space now that way.

Closing this as "Won't Do" - When doing 3v for the Betz board, the LED stops working so it's not needed to be visible any more. So we can leave the button and LED where they are.

Reopening this issue.

Move the blue LED and button to the other side of the board because the place where you velcro it in your trunk causes the BT chip to be buried behind the empeg and against the trunk wall. Flip the button and board around so that when it's mounted the BT chip AND the other stuff is facing out.

I've done this on my prototype board, still need to do it in the Pad2Pad layout.

Done on the Pad2Pad design Rev 6. Still need to optimize positioning. Will likely also move Pololu too.
