Wiring diagram!

I made my wiring diagram:

  1. I spent a solid 20 minutes trying to find an ESP-32 I guess i lost. I'm torn between buying an ESP32 or using an RPI i have, but i am NOT wasting a whole ass RPI on smth this simple so ya
  2. I was researching for a bit to see what I should get thats cheap with wifi, bluetooth, and a battery management system. I then remember @evl said "The xiao esp32 C series are an absolute cheatcode ... for alleyway ... wifi, ble, builtin batterycharger, and its usbc" (Le).

I did some research based off this, and chose the ESP32-C3 over the nRF52840, as I dont need the bluetooth range the nRF52840 has. Additionally, in case I need it, I get WiFi. It is also 4 dollars cheaper yay

I research and found the KiCad symbol

So I spent a while trying to figure out why I cant use the library bc it wasnt working for me, and it turns out I just had to put it in symbols and not just footprints. Very stupid mistake.

The actual schematic is very basic

Ill probably plug myself into my desk since im largely designing this for the AMA and I am broke.

EDIT: very dumb thing but I do have a 9v power source and an H bridge with 5v output, Ill just use that LMAOOOOO
