v0.3.0

[Dakkaron]

PCB v0.3.0

New features

• The keyboard backlight is now split into two zones. This allows for showing modifier status using the backlight. (That feature isn't yet implemented in the firmware.)
• The board is now much smaller, allowing for smaller enclosures.
• The Hirose connector is now added to the BOM.xlsx, so that it can be ordered from JLCPCB directly and doesn't need to be hand-soldered any more

Fixes

• Compared to v0.3.0_rc1, the orientation of the ATMega32u4 was fixed

Removed features

• Removed the two LEDs on the backside that were formerly used to display modifier status.

Firmware v3

New features

• Support for v0.3.0 PCB (two-zone backlight is currently not controlled separately yet)

Changes

• Refactoring: Definitions are split into multiple files
• Small bugfixes and improvements

Case Generator v2

• Case is now rounder and slimmer
• Keyboard is mounted using two mounting screws and two catches instead of being mounted by the silver plastic bars between the keys (they used to break easily)
• Presets for Fairphone 4 and Samsung Galaxy A54 included. (If you make a version for a different phone, please share your preset so that others can also benefit from it!)
• Refactoring
