Issue 1:
Within the section marked "Power", the inductor for the 5v buck regulator is missing both the component designation and its part number.

Issue 2:
Within the section marked "Power", the two soft-fuses, (F1 and F2), are also missing part numbers.

Issue 3:
Within the section marked "SWD, UART, SPI", the level-shifter IC is also missing its component designation and part number.

Nice To Have:  (but not mandatory)

  • A Bill Of Materials, (BOM), cross referenced to the component designations, would be a convenient source of information about the components.
  • A separate folder with datasheets for all major components, (aside from the common resistors and capacitors), would be convenient too.
    • I would be willing to help provide and upload these documents as I have already collected a number of them.
    • I have added this to my repo, but it shows up in the wrong pull request.

Justification:

  • The inclusion of a component's designation on the schematic allows the component to be referenced and identified outside the confines of the schematic itself.
  • The inclusion of a component's commercial part number allows the component to be cross-referenced and the component data-sheet to be obtained so that its characteristics can be understood and - if necessary - suitable replacement and/or upgrade components can be obtained.
