☎️ #Shellphone: rethought the front panel and wound up removing all of the original switches, going for something with a splash of color.

The button matrix is wired up with diodes (mostly) to prevent ghosting on the keypad, and the screen is wired for SPI since I don’t need a fast refresh rate. It’s messy and on perfboard, but it’s coherent, so I don’t care.

All of these connections are broken out to the edge pins where they’ll be passed to the Mainboard and eventually terminated.

☎️ #Shellphone update: here’s the fully assembled prototype shell with #Pinephone for scale. Still need to spend some quality time soldering the innards, but this is the rough idea I’m going for.
