And I am also going to be prototyping a new breakout board for the humidity/temperature/barometric pressure sensor. This doesn't feel like it's $40 worth of components right here...

I just got some new #HestiaPi prototype boards in. There is only acouple small modifications:

1. The reset switch cuts power, makong it compatible with a Pi Zero, Pi Zero 2, and possibly also the pi zero clones
2. Require a sockrt for the pi, and can use headers soldered onto the top instead of requiring them onnthe bottom
3. Done in KiCAD instead of some online tool (eliminating the risk of not being able to modify the PCB if the site ever goes under or discontinued their free tier, etc.)

The next question is: does it actually work? The components I'll need to test it should arrive in the next few days and then we will find out.
