  1. Projects from a tutorial are 100% fine! We just want to ask so we can count how people are using tutorials.

Nice job on the redesign @MrKillerShaunBa! Can you please clean up your files by deleting the files in the old folder?

Also, your board ended up being pretty expensive due to how big it is. The converters I made in the video are about the size of my thumb, and if you have a board that acts as 2 converters I bet you can get it down to the size of 2 thumbs! Maybe try that out to get your board under the $70 threshold?

I just did a pass on the files to get them into the right folder. The board is still over $50 & only qualify for the $50 grant– maybe try changing the board size? You have a lot of space in the middle that isn't being used. Also, your assembly cost is surprisingly high. If you post a list of your parts in the #electronics channel in Slack we can help you get that price down.

Yes, I did that on purpose, I wanted it look like a credit card. And speaking about parts and assembly, the reason of it being high is that I couldn't find many components and slack was not helpful either. And grant was for $100 i think

The grant is for $100 if you made your own board from scratch, but $50 for using a tutorial– $100 should be enough for people to make multiple projects, so we capped tutorial projects at $50 to make sure people don't blow their budget on their first design.

There have been multiple designs made for less than $50 that are larger than a credit card, so I'd assume the cost comes from the specific USBs chosen or the jellybean parts (resistors/capacitors/etc) being in the extended parts list. I don't see your design posted in the Slack electronics channel.
