Enhancement: have unused pins ending on a pad

[dorchain]

Hi,

thank you for the great work! It helped reviving my good old IBM keyboard on modern hardware.

I have added a WS2812 LED stripe for underglow effect.

Thanks to qmk, the software part was easy. The hardware part however required (IMHO) advanced soldering skills.

I choose the unused pin A10 for the WS2812 driver (as it it 5V tolerant with a 10K pullup resistor to 5V from usb). This required soldering a wire to that pin , which is in a 1/40" raster.

Modifications like this would be easier if even the unused pins for the original design and purpose would end in a soldering pad a little bigger, e.g. 1/10".

Thanks for considering in a next release!

Best regards,

Joerg

Thank you for your feedback and suggestion. Took a while until I had a need to touch the KiCAD project to add a pin header and pin names for all unused pins of the STM32F072.
