Updates

Soo sadly i had to remove the joystick , due to unavailability and it was getting quite expensive ( over the budget ) , I removed it from the schematics and pcb and made it more symmetrical and ordered everything too , will give u updates when they reach , unfortunately i dont think i can make it before the build review deadline :pf:
Picked these retro switches classic!

Fixed the 3v3 wire

there was a wire of 3v3 switching from 0.5mm to 0.25mm , fixed that , updated the pcb , updated git , and finally checked everything , just waiting for approval

Updated the joystick

there was a mismatch in joystick i was using a THT Breakout Joystick (used with jumpers!) on the BOM, but my PCB uses SMD joystick! , i updated the pcb with the correct joystick and updated the git

Made the cad

Here will be the basic design , i will glue the top and bottom layer after arranging the pcb. Also fixed the errors in DRC. I will update the repo with everything and then sumbit

Updated the PCB

Realised it late that the hotswap sockets were on top rather than below , thats why had to update the pcb and route everything again, will move onto cad design

Routed the pcb

PCB routing is done , i used copper fill to ground everything , other than that everything is hand routed , now i will move on to the 3d design. Thank you

made few changes

Had to remove the connector cause, the pmw3360 sensor for trackball wasnt shipping anywhere in my country, now im using a psp joystick analog instead of the trackball

The update

PCB

This will be the general structure of the pcb , installing footprints took time cause they had to be gathered from different websites , arranging few parts and routing in next session!

Made the schematics , left and right half

heres the right schematic

heres the left schematic

Took time between deciding to use round robin matrix or the shift registor , discarded the round robin matrix cause of ghosting issues.
