Thanks for all your answers! <3

Still pretty overwhelmed by how many microcontrollers there are. Are there good resources to compare them?

How would I learn about what electrical parts to surround a microcontroller with on a custom board? Or what components I need to attach an e-ink screen? Are there good resources/books/specs on that?

And another thing: Should I invest the time to learn KiCad? Or is another open source software for PCB design that you'd recommend? #electronics
