<@757706909351411845> what should we do about vias in crystal traces ?
shibo
imo we should detect traces connected to crystals and warn if it has vias
shibo
<@757706909351411845> wdyt?
shibo
<@398467566588264449> maybe you'd be interested in implementing impedence matching
Seve
i think we already do this
Seve
but there are just a ton of things that can go wrong
Seve
so it needs refinement
Seve
e.g. the crystals, if they aren't using crystal elements, need to have a warning to tell the user to use crystal elements
Seve
we should honestly like block autorouting if the crystal paths aren't planned
Seve
otherwise this board is like pretty sweet
Seve
even the usb is somehow impedance matched(!)
Abse
<@757706909351411845> first pr https://github.com/tscircuit/checks/pull/272
Seve
what does that pr do?
Seve
it looks like it actually does the opposite of what you want
Seve
it reduces it from an error to a warning?
Abse
you want it to be an error ?
Abse
oh error when there is a via in crystal trace but warning when not using the crystal element ?
Abse
https://github.com/tscircuit/core/pull/3713
Seve
Does any autorouter currently support maxViaCount
Seve
We might support it but it is a bit of a tough constraint, better solved with pcbPath etc
Seve
Since you can pre route the crystal
Abse
<@757706909351411845> how should impedance matching be applied ?
