First AI PCB with Grok: clip 7, the switch node John caught, and the pour walkthrough

1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,700
John caught what Grok missed.
2
00:00:01,820 --> 00:00:09,000
Looking at the board, he saw that the
switch node, the copper between the
TPS54202 and the inductor, was a skinny
track carrying the full inductor current.
3
00:00:09,150 --> 00:00:16,600
Grok had never loaded that net in its
Fields spec, so it was never solved, and
Grok never flagged it.
4
00:00:16,750 --> 00:00:21,900
Solved, it peaked at 62 A/mm².
5
00:00:22,090 --> 00:00:28,300
Once prompted, Grok moved the inductor
right beside U1, and turned the switch
node into a short, wide pour.
6
00:00:28,420 --> 00:00:29,400
It drops to 29.
7
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:33,300
The back is now one solid ground plane.
8
00:00:33,490 --> 00:00:41,700
Then Grok walks through every pour on its
own screen: ground, the switch node, on
top only, the 5 V output on top,
9
00:00:41,830 --> 00:00:45,200
and the small output island that feeds J4
from the back.
10
00:00:45,340 --> 00:00:52,460
DRC is clean, and Grok still lists what
got worse: the input track and the hottest
spot each rose a little.
