Finally reviewed and ordered the PCB for this project. I used Seeed Studio Fusion which offers $10 for 10x 5cm*5cm boards. This project was a bit bigger and I opted for a blue board, so the total came out to $40 with shipping.

I'm nervous and excited about this; I hope I didn't mess anything up. This is easily the most nerve-wracking part of this project since I work best by iterating, testing and adapting. This is the exact opposite, since it has to be right the first time or there and financial and temporal penalties. I guess we'll see in a few weeks.

Next step is to go back to work on hardware. I still have wire harnesses to strip and solder. However, once that's done, I have a lull until the board is ready. Who knows, I might actually PLAY Kerbal Space Program!
