Chad-
First off, thank you for open sourcing your project! I tried to buy one but missed the boat. I saw that you put the code up and I was curious about making one on a breadboard with my own Pico. I had a look at the BOM you posted (again, thank you!) but I see that BOM is the entire device. What would be needed to create my own prototype using a Pico and non-SMD parts? Heck, I don't really even need the OLED. I'd be happy to just be able to toggle between 45-0-45 with a button so I can find the center. I have a project with a bunch of SG90's I need to setup and this would be great to have.
Thanks

Hi mate I think this would be a rather complicated build for a breadboard but the wiring diagram should be quite easy to follow
As for through hole parts best solution would either be asking chatgpt for comparable parts for ics/mosfets
And for resistors and caps they should just translate as they were.
Another method would be to use a site like DigiKey or mouser
Find the specs of the the smd part and put them in but specify through hole and you’ll find comparable versions
