Research on microcontrollers. Honestly the nice nano (i.e., a random compatible version on aliexpress) is goated - USB C, built in LiPo charging, a lotta GPIO, and uh probably some other stuff I can't remember rn.

Took a bunch of time but found these, they look good https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005008498887267.html.

Omg ok so aparent JST PH and JST SH and all that is different ;-;.
