I got the new version of the circuit board in, thanks to PCB Way. Who made iterating fast and easy. The components all fit, and I'm happy with how everything lines up.

The encoder is not reading correctly. Apparently not all the pins on the feather have pullup resistors. Of course I didn't test it beforehand, I did a quick breadboard to test out the encoder with resistors, and that solved the problem. I am adding 2 10k resistors and hopefully ordering the last circuit board..

The HDPL displays are not happy in pin header sockets their legs are too thin, so I will be reverting to soldering them in when I get the last set of boards.

Up next is working on the code to be able to trigger a dice roll by moving the magnet.
