Many thanks Sam,

1) You can hang the RN52 antenna area over the edge of the main board. In fact, according to the data sheet, this is preferred. This will free up some space on the board. I'd also notch the area where the antenna is. I don't think there's enough room in the box for it to completely clear the standard board size;

I thought about doing this when reading RN52's datasheet. There is enough room in the box, but it may be hard to insert the module with the protruding antenna so notching the board might be an easier way to go.

3) You can leave out the component value labels and LED colours. Only the IDs are really needed to build the board, since the schematic is authoritative;

I agree with that when labels aren't helpful for soldering or programming/updating the module.

4) Seth and Karlis may disagree with this, but I don't believe the 555 and associated components introduced in v5.1 are needed.

I remember an answer from Seth who was also doubtful about the 555 stuff need.

So, I keep going this way and improve the layout following your suggestions.
