#The Soldering Test
So this is a very basic pcb, which has many kinda footprints in which we need to solder components, it has many basic and common footprints of SMT and THT devices, so that we could increase our soldering skills!!!

Doesn't look like you minimized components; funding is still the same req

#5 TRIED CHANGING the VENDOR!!!
Yooo all! As suggested by CAN, I tried to buy a few things from Digikey India, but the shipping kinda shocked me (₹1200)!!! I once also tried using Robocraze, but yk it only has the LEDs and nothing else, so there was no benefit of ordering from it, so ig I would just go ahead with LCSC, cause it's cheaper too!

Please minimize the number of components you are getting from LCSC, especially if you don't need them for the board to work

Instead of the STM32 which is kind of expensive and overkill, could you use C2886391 instead? It has the same footprint and is cheaper!

#4 CHANGED the PCB manufacturer!
So, as advised by nimit, I have changed my PCB manufacturer from jlcpcb to Lion Circuits, as it is locally from India (Like me!). idk why I didn't notice this while I was dying to reduce cost yeasterday!

Hi! looking at the pricing, the shipping is quite expensive. You might be better off looking into local manufacturing services. Also, the parts from LCSC are definitely available locally, so get those from a domestic site instead. As for the PCB, ask me if you need any requirements and I can suggest some of the better fabrication services.

#3 Did the BOM STUFF!!!
SO yeah, I kinda made the project in just 3 Hours!!! And yeah here, I did the BOM and part selection thing, and now the Project is $37.85 (inc. shipping of parts + PCB)! This means that it needs to be a Tier 4 Project. So ig I should submit it for a tier 4 project!!!
So here is the total for the Parts, yeah they have a 2x multiplier, cause I'm gonna solder them on 2 PCBs
This is the total for the PCB:
TYSM!!!

#2 ROUTING DONE!!!
Yeah!!! I did the PCB too, it was too easy for me, as my skills got improved after making a few projects like an EPS of a satellite and THE SUREVIVAL! Take a look at the PCB, I did this in just 0.9 Hours! (Coincidentally same as the time taken to build the Schematic):
Here, take a look at the 3D thingy:

Yeah, so coooool!

#1 SCHEMATIC DONE!!!
So yeah, I'm kinda speedrunning this project, cause I have to make another big one! So yeah, here's the Schematic of this Project, made just in 0.9 Hours:-
