	## Note: The CAN circuit is already routed.

	## '''IMPORTANT NOTE:''' Most PCB's made in HABEES & SSI have something called Ground Planes. These are giant pieces of copper that cover the top and bottom layers of your board, and those giant pieces of copper are connected to GND. Since they encompass your entire board, they connect everything to GND very easily -- so you don't have to route any GND pads. They are, by default, hidden, but already implemented for you in the template.		## '''IMPORTANT NOTE:''' Most PCB's made in HABEES & SSI have something called Ground Planes.
