I present to you a working, properly wired rubbish pcb that has my beautiful chud star in the code
To assemble this I am going to solder the parts I get delivered to me together myself, then I'll flash the esp32. To do that, I will be following a guide from Seeed studio here: https://wiki.seeedstudio.com/XIAO_ESP32C3_Getting_Started/ and it will just use the arduino code + ide I used towards the end of my project.

Questions
How big is the Starbie PCB?
It measures 118 × 147.2 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Starbie use?
7 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 Starianne/Starbie repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Starbie.kicad_pcb and its schematic 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 publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
