Overview
Starbie is an open-source printed circuit board by kommaghchio, from the kommaghchio/doomguy-starbie repository on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board of 96.5 × 96 mm with 10 parts on 22 nets, routed with 199 tracks and 2 vias.
It is built around the DHT11. Its parts include 4 connectors, 2 ICs, 2 switches and 1 resistor.

This project is a modified version of Starbie, the week 1 project for the Half-Life competition. This project includes all the default features of Starbie, except this time with a rechargable battery and a joystick for additional interactivity.
It also bears the shape of a floppy disk, instead of a star, and has a different pet than the default "Sparkle".
I made this for week 1 on the Half-Life Hack Club competition, using KiCad.
Bill Of Materials (BOM):
Assembly: Firstly, get the ESP32 in place, on the bottom-right of the board, there are pads and traces just fit for it! use those exact pads and traces, and orient the ESP32 in a way so that it's facing to the outside of the board, not inside. on J4, solder the JST connector to the board, so that positive is on the right, next, on R1, solder the resistor so that the positive input goes to 3.3v. Next to it is where the DHT 11 sensor will go, the square hole is where positive 3.3V will go. Just above is J2, where the MPU6050 will go, once again, the square hole is where 3.3 is on the sensor. Above that, towards the top is the 2 switches, solder those 2 as well, it's impossible to mess this up unless you're soldering to the backside, which you shouldn't be anyway. Finally is the joystick, where once again the square pin is used for alignment, but instead that's where ground goes. Smack dab in the middle is the OLED, where once again you have to just not be an idiot.
Before you can turn it on, you must flash the ESP-32, download the .ino file and plug the ESP32 in, then just flash it with the Arduino software like any other board, make sure the settings are correct though.

Questions
How big is the Starbie PCB?
It measures 96.5 × 96 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Starbie use?
10 parts, built around the DHT11. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
Where can I download the Starbie KiCad files?
From the kommaghchio/doomguy-starbie repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is starbie.kicad_pcb and its schematic Week 1 - Starbie/PCB/Starbie.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Starbie design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask kommaghchio before reusing the design.
