Hello!
This is my first attempt at a circuit board. It shall hold an H-bridge for
motor control, current sensing, and SPI pins for encoder implementation.
It is a board that revolves around the DRV8701 (http://www.ti.com/product/DRV8701)
gate driver chip. The DRV8701 is capable of driving a varied set of MOSFETS.
Chosen here are the AON7410 MOSFETS.

A few concerns here arise with v2.0 that need to be addressed by checking some

#Solved Problems/Interesting Challenges
Due to the way the PWR and GND are conected, I had to get creative with the GND
planes. With the limited knowledge I have gathered. I limited the motor GND to the
TOP plane, and kept the Bottom ground plane as clear as possible for the Gate Driver
