8/26/2026 - 16th Update!

well, welcome back, it’s 3:00 PM here in nyc right now, a bit of a warm day, i kinda want to get this done, its taken far too long (its been a month already?). i kinda have more important things to sort out, but they can wait a bit, they’re not like extremely time sensitive!

ok, 3:10 PM, im actually back now, ive been considering removing the encoder (yet itll look crazy weird, i know), imo, most features should be still possible without it, just a bit more annoying to navigate with long presses and stuff, idk.

eh, whatever, im gonna first play around with the layout to see if its possible first

ok, audio jack moved to the bottom (and added the 3d model!), lets run drc… uh, suspiciously no error?

quick commit!

had a great idea (flipping the switches upside down for more space)

uh it would probably be better to keep the data lines short right

hold on did i reverse the audio jack direction… anyways, 5:10 PM, micro sd card is there and all drc errors fixed! gonna commit real quick and then run to the bathroom…

ok, 5:38 PM and back!

ok, did a bunch of via stuff so all the grounds are more connected, fixed up some silkscreen text, the only thing really left is to fix the silkscreen art stuff, but yeah!

so yeah! gotta double check that audio jack direction again (it should be correct now?), but yeah, it’s 6:33 PM, off to dinner, brb!

9:48 PM, did a good amount of work off camera fixing the silkscreen and stuff, but yeah, pretty happy with where it is now! could probably start exporting stuff now? gonna quickly commit first though…

oh yeah, also checked the length of the traces that should be equal (usb c connections), they’re still good!

ok, 11:32 PM, im back for a bit, time to export stuff! (again!)

12:23 AM, lots of part picking, gonna brb!

im back at 1:53 AM, lets quickly finish this up!

i really cant find an led that works. well, had a little help, but C524052 works!!!

well, that said, it’s 2:43 AM, the bom has been exported and should be there, im gonna go to sleep now, gotta wake up earlier tomorrow for something, so yeah, good night!
