Boards (renatorgr)ECADConfidence: Medium

The JLCPCB assembly preview showed relays, the RJ45 and two DevKitC sockets drawn off their pads, with the sockets lying across the board. KiCad puts a through-hole footprint's position at pin 1, while JLCPCB places every part at its body centre; 58 through-hole CPL rows had to move.
