D1 Diode silkscreen incorrect in Hall Effect Sensor board

[geeman-nz]

Summary:

The silkscreen for the Hall effect sensor PCB is incorrect. It displays that the diode should be placed in the incorrect orientation, leading to the polarity being backwards.

Expected Results/How It Should Work:

The + symbol should be placed on the opposite side to where it is currently placed

Screenshots:

Note the diode is placed in opposite polarity to the marked silkscreen. This image was produced by a JLCPCB engineer when this issue was questioned.

@geeman-nz Is there any reason why the Diode can't be rotated 180 degrees instead of adjusting the silkscreen? The + symbol indicates the correct pad.

[Arribe]

From ordering experience this is confusing. Shouldn't the silkscreen reflect the direction of the diode and not which pad is '+'? There are instances for using reversed polarity diodes.

Will be closed with #592

@Exprezz0 - for brevity, just add the K to the left side, no arrow. Stays more consistent with single character markings of other polarities. Drop the A. (If you don't mind - if you already implemented it, don't worry about it. Nothing I'm going to lose sleep over.)

Too easy. Just figured I'd alleviate all doubt. Fixed and updated.
