Another small update: Re-added the low-frequency crystal, and adjusted the crystals to match the specs from the nRF52833 reference schematics.

The latest version has been uploaded to codeberg.org/whitelynx/lynx-mo . It currently requires a nightly build of KiCad.

If nobody sees any issues with this, I'll probably submit this version for manufacturing tomorrow.

Latest PCB designs for the Lynx Mouse!

I switched from the PMW3389 to the lower-power PAW3395, and reworked a decent amount of circuit and layout work. (turns out I had some glaring issues in there around the sensor's pins)

I think this version is finally ready to send to manufacture! If anyone here has time to take a look, I'd appreciate more eyes on this.

I won't get the boards back for my birthday, but hopefully I can get the order placed before then.

Finally have a panel of PCBs put together so I can get quotes. Wish me luck!

It's happening!

Now I just need to get the PCBs fabbed, and hopefully everything works...

WIP: the Lynx Mouse

My own design, inspired by the Zalman FG-1000 FPSgun.

Maybe once I get paid, I'll be able to order some PCBs, and finally assemble this thing.
