After a MicroCenter opened up nearby, I learned about the amazingly cheap and powerful ESP32 microcontroller family of chips. This led me down a deep rabbit hole of "can I make a custom PCBs for my projects to make them tiny and battery powered?"

This is my first attempt to design and assemble a PCB using KiCad. Complete with tasteful bevels, notches for zip ties, and USB-C battery recharging!
