The schematics for the official boards are becoming very difficult (or confusing) for users to find. This is a critical issue, as the schematics are not only used for diagnostics and troubleshooting, but also for users to learn how Speeduino transforms action from code to physical output.
In the latest code packages, the schematic PDFs are deleted, including from older versions that previously contained them, e.g., the 202103 download package had Speeduino v0.4.4b.pdf included in the Hardware folder for that board, but is missing in the current download, and reference such as https://github.com/speeduino/Hardware/t ... ons/0.4.4b is not provided. Hundreds of previous posts guiding users are no longer valid. The v0.4.4c contains no schematic PDF at all. Downloading a secondary Gerber program simply to view is not a reasonable option.
In order to make information easily available, I suggest:

In order to make information easily available, I suggest:
- Root READ.ME files contain a list of directions or links to this (and other) important information.
- Folder READ.ME files contain specific maintained links, or
- simply include the files themselves, as previously provided.
