I was unable to figure out how to join the slack, therefore I was not able to meet that requirement bubble.

[PilotOfGolf]

Oh wait - I think I got in. I got an email saying to join. I think this is my handle or whatever it is called. U06CHEJ7P6U

OH I SEE AN ERROR IN THIS. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Oh wow this is very cool! I did VRC too during Tipping Point and Spin Up. Feel free to DM me on Slack @Karmanyaah or post in #onboard if you need help with the designs. Also if you're getting stuck in the Slack welcome flow lmk here.

Also I'll reopen this (if you don't mind) because you can just delete old files and add new files to your repo, that will automatically update your pull request once you fix your board.

[PilotOfGolf]

Ok, so I tested this on a breadboard and there is not an issue. I just wanted to make sure. I did not change any files, since there are no issues, and this will work as intended. I am so sorry for any inconvenience I may have caused. Thanks!

Howdy Aiden! I'm approving your student verification :) Once your PR is merged, you'll receive your grant!

1. Not entirely sure if it's possible with your parts but please check if you can use "Economic" assembly instead of standard. It's usually like $20 cheaper. See the options select here: https://github.com/hackclub/OnBoard/blob/main/docs/ordering_from_JLCPCB.md#pcb-assembly
2. Just like you uploaded your src/PCB_PCB.json, we need a Schematic JSON in the src folder which you can get by going to the schematic tab, and then File > Export > EasyEDA. (This is in addition to the schematic PDF you have already uploaded)
3. If you can edit the README with your Slack name, like "@ Aiden" or what it is, that'd be great.

Looking forward to getting you your grant!

1. Yes, it is, however I needed to change PCB color to green, which is fine, I couldn't care less about the color.
2. I think I uploaded the right file here.
3. Done!

LGTM! Please send a video of your board working when you get it to #onboard on Slack, I'd love to see it working!

[karmanyaahm]

You should receive an email with your grant card within 24-48 hours!
