Is there a way you can really focus on finding cheaper alternatives for your parts? I took a quick look at Digikey, and it seems that there is a cheaper Xiao alternative (not sure if its the same package)

If you really can't reduce costs anywhere, I'll approve it, just DM me about this situation

added pcb art and power saving mechanism

added lots of pcb art, infos, etc. added power saving mechanism, to cut power to neopixels and sensors when not actively in use. saves battery like 104060 li ion
