I appreciate the review.
In my haste to get the board pics up for viewing, I forgot to export the
layout with the ground planes. I have added them to
www.jbrain.com/vicug/gallery/1541IDE/ You'll see in the last two pics
that the ground plane conencts all the grounds. The two vias by the exp
port are there basically to hook the two layers together, to ensure the
two pins don't have to connect to each other through some long distance
path.
Some people connect all the grounds and then run the ground plane, but I
let Eagle take care of it for me.
