Another round of hardware!

This round was mostly a first-pass at shrinking. But I did make a few other changes. Whether the hardware shrink is enough to fit in a lightsaber has yet to be seen.

Further details:

Looking forward:

Overall, the board is already only slightly bigger than a battery. There's a few millimeters that can be shaved here and there, but until things are a lot closer to being finished, I don't see how this hardware is getting notably smaller. At this point, it's more about getting to MVP and adding features.
