EmonTH 1.5 errors in schematic and board files? [Solved - No errors]

Hi

Just downloaded the latest schematic/board of EmonTH 1.5.2 and it seems that the battery monitor is not connected to ADC1 as it was in the older versions. Is that by purpose or am I missing something?

Another issue is on the board: the C1, C10, VREG are not connected on one of the legs.

Regards

Kim

Where exactly?

I have only just downloaded both files.

If I click on ADC1, the battery positive and the track to it lights up, along with connections to the buck/boost converter, C1 & L1.

Equally, if I click on the 3.3 V rail, all the relevant bits appear to light up.

Total guess, and I haven't downloaded anything... but those all sound like they could be connected to the same power rail?  Perhaps the copper pour is not turned on within the PCB for ease of viewing?

Looking at the pictures from here: https://github.com/openenergymonitor/Hardware/tree/master/emonTH/emonTH_...

Yes, it might be copper pour, I thought of that, but I'm not into Eagle. Just started to learn...

@Robert: In Version 1.4 there was a ref to ADC1 from the battery, so it might just be another way of referring in ver 1.5, that I haven't seen before and looking at the PCB layout I can see the connection, so everything seems okay. The old way was way more readable.

Sorry for the fuss.
