over the span of today and some of yesterday, i designed the rest of mallow revision 2.2 and a controller for it.

this board is haphazardly laid out, these aren’t the final component placements. on the back of the main board (image 2), there’s pads that i can solder to for debugging. let’s say i wired something up to the wrong pin in the schematics. i can just cut the trace and solder a wire from point A to point B to make up for that mistake. i probably could have just used a bunch of 0ohm resistors for this instead of cutting the trace, but idk cutting traces is more fun.

the controller port is really just a 2.54mm 2x10 pin female header that the male header pins connect into. i couldn’t find the footprint for what i was looking for, so i just laid out through holes, making my own footprint essentially.

long story short, this is just a debugging board and a test run
