Starling, aims to be a modular Wifi connected hackable LED Display board. It can be used out of the box to display text messages and custom characters. It can be used from anywhere you're. It should also be able to expand and display messages from web; sports, schedules, social network notifications, whether data, news and anything else you want. The display should be able to expand without changes in the software. The display blocks can be added or removed on the fly

Questions

How big is the Starling WiPSU ver 0.1 PCB?

It measures 120 × 39.1 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Starling WiPSU ver 0.1 use?

104 parts, built around the LM317S, BSS138 and BC847. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the Starling WiPSU ver 0.1 KiCad files?

From the ExploreEmbedded/Starling repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Electronics/Starling WiPSU PCB Ver_0.1/Starling WiPSU ver_0.1.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Starling WiPSU ver 0.1 design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask ExploreEmbedded before reusing the design.
