00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.400
One correction: Adom boards follow the
molecule standard.

00:00:03.610 --> 00:00:12.200
So Grok reworked its board on its own
computer: machine pins in all four
corners, machine contacts on the edges
instead of screw terminals, everything on
a 2 mm grid, and a 36 by 20 mm outline
with rounded corners.

00:00:12.440 --> 00:00:14.400
Grok added an enable contact so the
control panel can switch it off.

00:00:14.600 --> 00:00:22.700
Adom Fields found a real neck where the 5
V output entered its contact: 85 A/mm² on
a thin ring.

00:00:22.890 --> 00:00:30.600
Grok widened the copper and added vias,
and it dropped to 9.

00:00:30.770 --> 00:00:34.550
Here is the current flowing through the
new copper.

00:00:34.740 --> 00:00:39.000
With half the copper area, U1 now rises 24
°C, still under its 40 °C budget.

00:00:39.030 --> 00:00:46.100
EMC margin holds at 48 dB, and both rails
pass.

00:00:46.280 --> 00:00:47.800
Four low issues remain.

00:00:47.980 --> 00:00:51.050
Grok's first molecule.
