I designed a PCB! I ordered some #RP2040 Zero (Waveshare clones) because I didn't feel like soldering a bunch of tiny SMD components when a tiny module with them already soldered could be had for under $3. Just needed to route everything out to connectors to make a functional ARGB hub, which could also act as an ARGB controller from the RP2040-Zero's USB port (though it is meant to be powered from the incoming ARGB connector).

@CalcProgrammer1@mastodon.social Hey that's great. I've been eyeing off PCBway's offerings for a while - you didn't mention the manufacturer you are using. One suggestion I would make - I generally leave a generous space around the mounting holes so that nearby traces don't get damaged by the screw heads. Soft washers might serve the same function in your current design.
