Why not include the screw hole in the boards? I think it has enough space for it. Instead of including your logo on the top, you should put it below the LED. Please consider this, I'm not the only one complaining about this.

Got myself a few of the 011 and 030 boards. The LEDs listed are the newer ones but the Gerber hasn't been updated for these it seems. They still use the old 7 pin ones (mine are 4 that I ordered).

Board 030 has the incorrect pinout. Vcc should be pins 5 and 6 of the FPC, and pin 8 of the FPC is the Annode of the RGB LED

Sorry if this is a dumb question but, which Board is considered the best for playing with USB and charging?

As with 030, the pinout is incorrect. 5 and 6 should be VCC, and 8 should be the Annode of the RGB LED

While I don't plan to mod my controller, good luck with your project :)

I was planning on removing the micro-USB port from my DS4 board and soldering in a USB-C connector (similar to this video and this one), but that would require that I offset my LED, and I wanted to retain its original position and functionality.

When I found this project, I figured it was a much better fit. Unfortunately, it's only cost effective to make multiple boards, and I only have one controller with a JDS-030 board. Given that, I am eagerly awaiting the opening of the tindie shop with pre-built configurations.

However, my question relates to the ability to use this port with USB-C to USB-C cables. My understanding is that in order to do this, pins A5 and B5 need to be connected to ground with a 5.1kOhm pull-down resistor. Do these boards have connection points for these resistors? For example, this image of the 040/055 board has six spots for resistors to be soldered onto, but what is the resistance measurement of these resistors, and do any of them connect CC1 and CC2 to ground? I was not able to find any recommended resistance levels on the parts section.

In any case, I found that RG1608P-512-D-T5 and RTT03512JTP resistors are the correct 0603 size and they are rated for 5.1kOhms. Would it be better to update the parts section to specify a certain resistance, or will different boards require different resistances?

I have a multimeter, a digital caliper, but I've never used PCB building software before. Do I just need to provide dimensions and continuity between pins? I'm also not sure what to make of the two chips in the upper right bottom side, I think one of them might be a mosfet? I'm not sure, how can I help?
