ASCII pinouts

Standards

• If an item is not visible from the side, it's pinout should not be shown, unless not practical otherwise.
• If available, details of components shall be included. Simple components
• Large blank spaces (unused space, screens) may be used to document the device's features.
• Where practical, the device's size/ratio should be true on a monospace font. Same goes for location of components.
• ASCII by foobar should be included on the ASCII. Preferrably on the device, if not, on the top or bottom left corner.

The drawings (must) include (all):

• Connectors, ports. Things other things are plugged in to.
• HID devices such as buttons, (single) lights (LED), light matrixes (screen).
• GPIO and similar.

Filename — device_name_sidename_full.ascii.txt

• Device name should be stylized. Product series/brand should be included.
• Side name. Rotation is relative to the front side, where the upper top is the top side on all sides (bottom/right/left is reachable with one turn, back with a turn from right to left or LtR, top with turn followed by a 180° turn).
• Full versions include all capacitors, resistors, etc.
