I want to create my first PCB in the upcoming month.
Some months ago, I've build a digital clock, based on the somewhat famous 8x8 LED matrix modules and a 3D-printed enclosure.
While doing everything on a breadboard was fine for a quantity of 1, I thought about building some more and gifting them to friends. For that, a custom PCB to place the ESP on, and screw it into the housing would be nice.
So... I'll need to learn to create a simple PCB with KiCad and then have it produced with one of the online services.

Wish me luck! :-D
