Thank you - that's useful. I see you broke up the thermal pad with the solder mask, which is as recommended. Do you know how to do that with kicad? I tried creating a zone on the mask layer, but it didn't work. I've therefore gone for creating an array of dummy pins (ie 33 onwards), all connected to ground.
