soldering headers
still kinda suck at soldering so theres a lot more solder on the pins than needed
Aligning the headers properly and straight took a lot of time because the first time i did it it was slanted for one of the 1x20

finalized routing AHHHHHHHHHH
painful trying to fix all errors in the DRC, had to add a million vias bc of my terrible routing
had to redo the usb d+- pairs because i didn't realize the courtyards were touching the first time i placed and wired them up soooooo had to redo that and re adjust the capacitors around it as well for everything to fit together

Made schematic
Finished schematic, and pinned the board differently compared to the demo / default rasp pi pico layout
it should work in a similar way, but this board I also added back the gpio 25 by removing one of the gnd pins
