Why am not able to get a grasp of PCB designing?

Well, I hoped you could see the hole just begging for Q2 to be placed in it ! :-//

OK redgear, have you given up or too shy to come back and show off your efforts ? :-//

Quite possibly a bit late, but one "trick" that seems to work repeatibly is to orient "square" micros at 45 deg, in this way, they can have traces come off in two directions without requiring as much "packing in" to the space. In reality, unless you have a perfectly square pcb, and can use all 4 sides around the micro, this 45 deg layout tends to be easier to route ime!

Nope, I haven't given up neither shy. I am making some changes to my schematic, replacing the controller with a better one. So, will post an update very soon.

But I am able to make only 90deg rotations on Kicad.
Edit: Just found out how to rotate footprints 45deg. Thanks for the trick
Rerouter:
you can set the rotation step size to whatever you wish, I usually use 22.5 degrees, you can also draw curvy traces with kicad with a little work if you need to work around very compact spacing. (free angle mode, and replace the corner twice to get very close to a smooth curves
