From the project

Hardware design monorepo with software-grade CI/CD. KiCad PCB projects with automated ERC/DRC, multi-fab rule validation, schematic & BOM checks, and auto-generated board documentation.

27 × 34 mm bottom settings board with three Omron B3F-1060 switches and an E-Switch EG1218 enable switch. Two copper layers, 1.6 mm thickness. J1 faces inward on B.Cu. These are actual routed boards fitted to the v4.2 enclosure, with physical tolerance/assembly verification still pending.
