"My goal is to reduce EMI by changing 90 degree to 45
degree what is your goal ?
Why did you show your board to us to check what?
Why are you comparing light speed with pcb trace? 

Andre"

Ok. This is getting strange. I wanted people to see my
board and make suggestions, design improvements, and
point out any glaring flaws. Which you  all did, thank
you. Apparently, people began commenting on the
circuit itself, this is due to my inability to
translate what I see on my hand soldered board to the
PCB.

This is my first PCB, and I want to make it right;
however, its not rocket science and now the posts are
becoming interesting...but unfocused SO HERE IS AN
UPDATE:

I've written down all the information and made changes
such as:

1) inputs shorted to 5v. (its not on this way on my
board, I just drew it wrong)
2) no bypass caps
3) traces too narrow.
4) 6V input to vreg is too low
5) The "big" cap should be at the input end of the
regulator
6) schematics shows pin13 unconnected, but PCB has it
connected.

IF YOU HAVE ANY DIRECT specific issues that you can
see and explain please feel free. Please follow Mr.
Westfield's communication. He has been most nice to
explain why things won't work properly, so I
understand the changes.

I'll be sure to post the final layout on the board. I
can't and don't want to please all of you with the
design, but I'll do my very very best.

I LEARNED A LOT FROM THIS SITE TOO:

Thank YOU,

p.s. I am going to a PIC workshop tomorrow, hopefully
I can learn from there too.
