These can't have been very complicated micro-services, if 5 of them would only take a human 2 weeks and only cost $5k.
Of course the systems programmer in me thinks "OK smart 'guy': let's see you write a device driver for this component whose only documentation was poorly translated from its original Chinese. And whose specifications for a bunch of the control registers are wrong because they changed in Rev B but the documentation is for Rev. A; and we're unable to get updated documentation because we have no way to contact the manufacturer."

But it could be a great teaching tool or do-it-yourself help guide in the starting phases.
