The Franklin keyboard needs to be updated to apply the conventions of the unified retro keyboard project.
This includes:
[X] Using the dual footprints for futaba / cherry keys
[X] include a diode for every key.
[X] Add stabilizers to the spacebar
[X] The Franklin keyboard is 9u, but it's very hard to find a 9u option. Instead, use 8u+1u
[ ] Add cherry and futaba aligner plates
[X] Replace the LOCK key with a 1.75U key with LED window. Fix LED spacing to match original.
[] Create a spreadsheet with a specification for a keycap set.
I've started a branch for the Franklin Ace keyboard. The diode-per-key task is done in the schematic and WIP in the PCB.
