Consider marking which microcontroller pins on the board map to which rows/columns #25

While building my Temper, I've hit a snag in trying to get my left half, second row keys to fire. In debugging my issue, I've tracked it down to the connection between the microcontroller and the PCB.

In looking around for help on this, I found SplitKB's docs, which shows that the PCBs for their kits note row/column pins with C# and R#, where # is the corresponding number.

I'd find it helpful if, whether as a diagram in the build instructions or on the PCB itself, there were some way to know what pins map to what rows or columns.

(and as an aside, I'd also appreciate if anyone could point me at the pin I ought to be looking for, so I can quadruple-check my amateur soldering job 🫠 )

Ah, yes, I considered labeling the row and col pins appropriately but that left many MCU pins unlabeled. I thought instead it might make most sense to label the pins how the MCU defined them, trying to give more information about what all the pins were. I'm not sure this was the right idea in hindsight, but that's a problem I can solve for the next one potentially.

In any case, to help you (and any others) out, I dropped a screenshot of the PCB schematic into the repository, which you can see here in the new PCB folder readme. Hope this helps you out, but let me know first you'd like more information!
