🔧 Make LED hole a tad smaller

Manufacturing files didn’t change so I made the hole 0.05 mm bigger instead of 0.02 mm bigger, hopefully that is somehow reflected in the output files but I’m not entirely sure…
It was 5 mm at first, now 5.05. I think 5.1 would be too big, it just fits right now, but the JLCPCB tolerances are apparently 0.2 mm so maybe I got lucky on the first two prototype batches…

🔧 Make LED hole a tad smaller

The part between this hole and the switch’s hole is already pretty thin, making the switch’s hole bigger makes it even thinner, so I reduced the hole’s height by two cents (going from ~0.27 mm to ~0.25 mm tolerance, shouldn’t be an issue for manufacturing).
Also adjusted a few vias and ran DRC again.

♻️ Put the encoders’ switches on the matrix

Required if I want to be able to remap it using VIA or Vial. Yeah it’s a bummer…
Also fixed all DRC issues (updated standard footprints and reduced courtyard’s size of SK6812MINI-E because of the slightly bigger switches’ holes).

✨ Rearrange some diodes on the left hand

So that silicone feet can be installed as close to the edge as possible.

✨ Rearrange some diodes on the right hand

So that silicone feet can be installed as close to the edge as possible.

🔧 Make switches center holes a tad bigger

Two cents bigger. Hopefully the switches are still properly maintained but without having to force too much to insert them all at the same time (using my little soldering tool).

🔥 Remove protection resistor on serial line

This prevents communication between halves because of the high impedance of the MCU’s GPIO which makes a low level at a voltage too high to be registered as low.
