Suggesting new parts

The actions below are necessary - please understand swapping components often creates a lot of sub issues thus resulting in increasing the workload on contributors. Before suggesting a new or replacement part please:

Sanity check

1. Check if the part is in stock and not obsoleted on Digikey. If it's not available on Digikey check LCSC. If it's not available on both, then we can't use it right now.
2. Check if the datasheet is publicly available, without having to email manufacturers etc.
3. (If applicable) check if drivers are needed and if yes check if they are available.
4. Check electrical ratings and basic parameters.
5. Check if the part wasn't already considered in the GitHub issues.
6. Consider the rest of the system e.g. it is useless to suggest a 4 microphone audio setup if the chip that does the audio processing doesn't support that many inputs.

Provide info

1. Your own reasoning as to why the new component is better.
2. Link to the datasheet
3. Link to the purchasable component on Digikey or LCSC
4. Side by side comparison of the new vs old component
5. Any negative aspects or red flags of the new part.

Please don't take it personally if the component you propose doesn't make it into the design. This is open source and you are free to make your own version of the project.
