I'm using the library at commit 0b379ee which contains "Breaking Changes Notice (Commit 6e5adad, 2024-08-15)"
When placing the footprints and flipping to put the hot swap socket on the back of the PCB, I noticed a couple of issues with the ISO enter key:
Silkscreen flipped
Stabilizer reversed
There was a similar stabilizer issue with a vertical 2U enter on the numpad. I guess most other keys don't show the issue since they're symmetrical horizontally.
As a workaround, I replaced both with the reversed stabilizer footprints. For the ISO enter specifically, I duplicated the footprint and flipped only the silkscreen outline to make it appear normal.
The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
Seems like the issue stems from the most recent breaking change where hotswap sockets were flipped to be topside components without the rest of the footprint being affected.
Solutions I can think of are:
Flip every footprint to be switch-side-bottom including the solderable footprints, although this would be unideal due to incurring yet another breaking change for solderable footprint users.
Have the generator script mirror the X coordinates of added outlines and stabilizer holes, although there'd need to be some mechanism to mirror only for hotswap - whether by a manual flag, or by detecting some term within the input footprint name (such as "hotswap" or "socket", although that would also require standardization).
I currently don't have the capacity to address this right away, but gut instinct is to go with the script adjustment method with a manual flag.
