Hey @kramerbastian

$95 is really expensive! You only get a single $100 grant! Try lowering the price by changing colors, trying to use economic assembly and other stuff! You should be able to get a few revisions of your PCB with our grant

[kramerbastian]

I don't think I can reduce the costs much further—maybe save another $2 at most. The color of the PCB doesn't impact the price at JLCPCB. The problem is that ESP32 modules are only available with Standard assembly, which has a setup fee of around $30. I'm willing to take the risk of using the entire $100 grant on the initial design.

Alright

I've just sent you your grant for OnBoard. You should have received an invite in your email. There will be instructions on how to use your debit card attached should you need them. Please remember to upload your receipts when you make purchases.

Also, unfortunately, we're unable to offer support with reimbursements for customs fees, including reimbursements using leftover grant funds. Please keep this in mind before you make any purchases. More info in the OnBoard community shipping doc.

I'm looking forward to seeing your PCB be manufactured! Send pictures in the #electronics channel on Slack once you get it! Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions
