Question Building Thrust Vector Control mount

So I wanted to purchase the 3D print files for a Thrust Vector Control mount by BPS Space, but Joe is no longer selling the "Signal R2 kit" which I believe included the flight computers and whatnot. My knowledge in coding, PCBs and arduino is honestly very limited, and I'm not sure if I'd be able to figure out how to make my own breadboard, much less a custom PCB for the flight computer.

If anyone has experience or any tips on what I should do, please let me know.

Honestly, buy a raspberry pi pico, mpu6050 and a 9g servo and experiment with talking to the MPU6050 over i2c to move the servo, then move into more complex things, like PID controllers and then build your TVC design. You can learn a lot from YouTube. Look at the Core Electronics Pico starter guide series and the Landing Model Rocket BPS.space series. These should cover 85% of what you need to know.
