I'm working on a project where I would like to replicate the mounting like on this HopeRF module. Kind of a general design question but as I'm using KiCad I thought I would ask here. I don't even know what you call this.
The idea is that the user can solder standard 2.54mm pitch pins to allow for through-hole breadboard applications OR design a PCB with SMD footprints and solder it down using the half round plated edge holes.
I tried just adding a second row of holes to the edge, with the idea that when the board is panelized I can specify a v grove between them?
So my real question is what's the best way to design / specify this kind of thing for manufacture?
This is my attempt. It renders badly the way I'm doing it as well.

Well, the best option will be talking to your board manufacturer
To build a castellation the edge needs to be exposed, before the plating pass, meaning atleast some level of routing prior to plating (Its roughly like how a plated slot is made)
This out of order routing is what will generate extra costs,
The other thing is making a clear description of what you want on a mechanical layer, and again in the notes to the fabricator. If your doing something weird, expect them to need guidance
