Open main/main.kicadpro and satellite/satellite.kicadpro in KiCad 10.
- main/: one controller daughterboard PCBA; its haptic pod is a separate universal board. - satellite/: one universal PCBA, built eight times per wrist. JP1 selects normal or end-of-chain operation. - HapticBracelet.kicadsym, HapticBracelet.pretty/: shared libraries referenced by both projects. - panel/: future derived manufacturing panel, never the source for board edits. - verification/project-split/: current schematic PDFs, previews and check reports. - archive/combined-project/: superseded eight-island project…
