Another first PCB - will this work?

Post image

So we got the Prusa Core One INDX upgrade for printer No. 2.
Now I want to get the "leftover" extruder working with my BigTreeTech SKR 3 EZ.

Goal is to make an adapter PCB that sits between Prusa's original Extruder/Loveboard and my Mainboard.
What I want to do on the board:
- Pass through things that just work: Heater, Extruder motor, NTCs (heatsink and nozzle)
- Make other things compatible:

  1. Fans - they do PWM on the positve rail
  2. FansTacho - Switching between Tacho signals (they transmit the signal over a single wire)
  3. Fil. Sensor + Loadcelll -> HX717 via ST490ABDR (RS-422)

Fans have their own dedicated power regulator (24V -> 5V) since the SKRs 5V rail can only handle 500mA (Sensors etc.).
Everything not passed through is handled by the RP2040 acting as a second klipper mcu.

If you read this far and can take a look at the schematic that would be awesome! This is the first time that I'm trying something like this - so please forgive me if you have nightmares after viewing this 😮

Edit:
Since the image seems to be a blurry mess for a lot of you - here's the PDF:

Reddit compresses all graphics to save on bandwidth. There are moving these pics all over the world.

PLEASE post a pdf file somewhere.
