pcb design - What are good quality of life additions to a prototype PCB?


What additions are good to add to a prototype PCB that makes your life easier?


I have come across a few nice additions such as:



  • Adding useful information on the silkscreen to designate functional areas/pins/traces. Revision number.


  • LEDs for power and micro activity.

  • Test points at important places in the circuit.

  • Connecting a spare communication channel to a header.


Are there others that are helpful?
