Please do not double post topics: [https://easyeda.com/forum/topic/Can-someone-help-me-with-my-layout-12f485ebefb242199035fa2b347ae42b](https://easyeda.com/forum/topic/Can-someone-help-me-with-my-layout-12f485ebefb242199035fa2b347ae42b)<br> <br> If you are not yet very good at PCB design then you could use the time waiting for someone to give up theirs to help you by: 1. Making a simple project and playing about with it to learn about PCB lsyout;  2.

It seems that you are trying to design a driver circuit for some sort of Tesla Coil. You have given no information about your design such as voltages and currents to be switched by the MOSFET, what sort of audio output that you require. Without that information in some form of 'How it works' description document, it is a waste of time attempting to advise you on more detailed aspects of your PCB such as track widths and spacings. It is unlikely that the MOSFET drive will work well since a 10k pullup to turn the device on will result, in combination with the MOSFET gate capacitance, in a slow turn MOSFET on time which may cause it to overheat. The 555 timer circuit will also fail to operate correctly at the extreme ends of the pot rotationwithout a resistor in series with the pot slider and the 'Q' output of the 555 timer. One of those failures may be effectively to turn the MOSFET permanently on causing it to draw a large but unspecified current which may damage the MOSFET and whatever load it is switching. For more on using 555 timers to make variable duty cycle outputs see: [https://oshwlab\.com/andyfierman/Variable\_duty\_cycle\_fixed\_frequency\_555\_oscillator\-1bc9b3f6a8cf4b3c88e5f22f6780f9c6](https://oshwlab.com/andyfierman/Variable_duty_cycle_fixed_frequency_555_oscillator-1bc9b3f6a8cf4b3c88e5f22f6780f9c6)<br> <br> Your circuit has inadequate power supply decoupling for a bipolar 555 timer (i.e. the LM555): [https://easyeda.com/forum/topic/UPDATED-Power-supply-decoupling-and-why-it-matters-30a39d0a77f34d5d8dc77e37c035b3d3](https://easyeda.com/forum/topic/UPDATED-Power-supply-decoupling-and-why-it-matters-30a39d0a77f34d5d8dc77e37c035b3d3)<br> <br> You have also created a PCB without first creating a schematic from which to generate that PCB. See: [https://easyeda\.com/forum/topic/The\_best\_way\_to\_design\_a\_PCB\_in\_EasyEDA\-ThR3pwqIC](https://easyeda.com/forum/topic/The_best_way_to_design_a_PCB_in_EasyEDA-ThR3pwqIC)<br> <br> **Please also search the EasyEDA forum for 'Tesla coil' and read through them for other important information about working with Tesla Coils.**
