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.
24 × 10 mm front board with Omron B3U-1000P battery-check switch and Wuerth 150141M173100 common-anode RGB LED. 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.
