I wish AVR DU series had any sort of open source support, we could finally move on from 32U4.

The step to go to ARM or risc v based controllers is easy. That's what I did with V3. Gives a tremendous performance boost and costs 1/2 of that old AVR.

I'm curious what MCU you landed on, but also a suggestion. If you could move the pictures to a different repo (or branch at least) that would make much easier to download. Even now a shallow clone takes ≈20 MB.
