I don't actually practice dark magi... Err electrical engineering, so I wasn't remarking on the functionality. Well, there was that one time with the lab manager back in college...

I see, yes, there's 6 missing components on that version, making it more difficult to understand. Above each sot89-5 is a current sense resistor, and to the lower right of each sot89-5 is an inductor. Both values are set based on desired output current, something i haven't figured out yet. And then near each input is a capacitor for power filtering.
The board is single-sided, any holes are jumper wire through holes(pcb payback for not putting the effort into a doubled sided design) , with the exception of the drl connections that reuse the existing drl through hole connectors.
I'll never claim to know everything, I'm entirely self-taught when it comes to pcb layout, so was mostly curious about where i could improve in the future.
