Hi,
Nowadays circuits should expect nearby HF, like from cellular phones, WLan, Bluetooth....thus I always recommend to use one layer as GND plane.
Best: no other traces in this layer no cuts in this layer. This is no
Hi,
What you did is: just connecting the electronic parts.
But a nowadays PCB layout is much more. No wonder KICAD shows a lot of errors.
It does not follow basic rules.
But this does not mean that it does not work. It may work for one day or one month or all the time...it may may cause malfunction when someone with a cellular phone is close..or other HF sources. Hard to say.
My recommendation:
* Either try it as it is,
* or do some PCB design tutorials first and learn the basics of PCB design.

t perfect but a good and simple rule.
Only if you are experienced enough, know about (HF) current flow on the board, and know about (unwanted) "antennas" on your PCB.... then you could add some traces, add some cuts into the GND plane.
You mean to fill the space between the traces of a layer with copper.
No.
No, because this is no shielding at all. If I would rate the HF benefit against a solid GND plane, then I assume it is below 5%.
It's more "show" than true benefit.
I've posted many times before to almost identical threads. Please do a forum search.
