Schematic — run ERC; confirm ESP32 ↔ ScreenKey nets
PCB — finish routing from ESP32 module to global labels (generator places footprints + SPI trunk)
DRC — target zero errors (current generator may show courtyard/clearance warnings until routing complete)
3D view — USB-C aligns with enclosure rear slot; microSD reachable via side slot; Qwiic on the rear wall; ALS under the face-plate hole
Assign LCSC/JLC parts in BOM tool if using SMT assembly (recommended on Rev E)

Suggested spec: 2-layer, 1.6 mm, FR4, ENIG, matte black mask, 1 oz copper. Board is 59.5 × 108.5 mm.

Solder U1 (ESP32-S3 module) — reflow or hot plate
Solder J7 USB-C — verify orientation (rear-facing)
Solder J1–J6 — pin 1 toward KEY net (see schematic title block)
Solder J8 microSD
Passives 0402/0805
Mount modules per Assembly Guide (M2×5 into factory standoffs; corner spacers at H1–H4 for the M2×25 case screws)
Plug 6× ScreenKey cables (in-box 200 mm; fold slack flat)
Flash firmware over the on-board USB-C — see Flashing

USB-C powers board; 3.3 V at module connectors
All six displays init (dual SPI — J1–J3 bus A, J4–J6 bus B)
All six keys debounce
HID F13–F18 typed on Mac/Win/Linux (page 1 defaults)
CDC serial: PING → pong; INFO reports fw, leds, imu, als, haptic
Eight SK6812s light (SET_LED / SELFTEST)
ALS lux updates; backlight auto-dim reacts to covering the face-plate hole
IMU pickup haptic (lift the board)
microSD mounts (SD_INFO reports the card)
