Just some cleanup work

Today I decided to do some cleanup work on the PCB, as well as remodel the case to match the new PCB. I added the mounting holes for future mounting in the case. I also added some rounded corners, so it’ll fit a little easier in the case.

I also figured out how I wanted my case to look. I’m going to take some inspiration from this pocket watch. I intend to have the little loop in the top left corner, connecting what will be the protruding lcd to the rest of the case. This will be a part of the top plate. I’ll start the plate next, but to jump start it I added what the cutout for the keys will be, as shown in the model.

Speaking of the protrusion, I need to figure out how I’m going to do that. I have some usb-c boards that can mount to the outside of the case, and then run wires to the xiao. BUT, none of the data pads on the xiao are exposed, and I’m not that experienced with soldering to solder to the tiny pins on the usb-c port. I also don’t want to sacrifice a cable for such a small distance. I’ll figure that out later, though. I do know how I’m gonna attach the screen, I’m going to wire it instead of it being attached to the PCB, because it exceeds the PCB size requirement. I just have the pins exposed on the front side, and will wire it with the screen attached to the front plate, hopefully with screws, but idk how that’ll mount either… More work for future me!
