PCBA IS TOO EXPENSIVE

I looked over the pcb assembly costs and boy were they high. So high in fact, that it exceeds the max funding for the tier hayai falls into. to reduce assembly costs, i decided to use a microcontroller module instead of the chip. I used a rp2350 zero from waveshare and rerouted the whole board (and also expanded the borders a bit). Im a bit frustrated about the whole thing bescause the project was like 99% ready to submit and now i gotta do so many things all over again but it is what it is.
