Radically low-cost, can't disagree :)

PCB files are actually available: https://github.com/CapibaraZero/resources/tree/main/PCB/

OTOH it's nice to be able to literally see every part, and how they are connected.

Remember hardware != software. These PCBs may still be WIP.

PCB is ready, it's a typo in docs, I will update ASAP

That’s awesome! I love the idea of starting with a breadboard—it makes everything more hands-on and helps visualize the connections better. Having PCB files available is a great touch for when things need to go portable! Are there any music-related (https://sites.google.com/site/legitticketsites/vivid-seats-r...) projects or builds you’ve seen with CapibaraZero so far?

Yes, updating a PCB means building a device anew, and to build it you can't just type "make" and go grab a tea.

This us why the idea to go for the breadboard first and thus always have a working prototype is so obviously right.
