Component Choice and Scale Issues

Today, I was trying to get all my components into the schematic so I can start to do the math for all the voltages and other components needed and stuff like that. Easy right? Wrong. Finding the components was the easiest part(although there was a mixup with the battery pack where certain details weren’t listed so I had to message the seller). The hard part for today was figuring how to set a scale in the schematic. Obviously this is very important so I can set a size for my battery pack, but I couldn’t find anything anywhere for my software of choice. I am considering switching to KiCAD(after all, I just need to add a few components), but I’ll have to see what can be done about the scale stuff. If I can figure that out, the next step will be to add the other components necessary for function.

This is my first ever devlog! Quite exciting :D
anyways this is supposed to just be some git testing to make sure my repo is setup to be public and receive commits, im still not too sure how to do this with PCBs but ill figure it out
