Questions
How big is the Lightball PCB?
It measures 42.6 × 15.2 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Lightball use?
47 parts, built around the ESP8266EX, ACT4088US-T, BMP388 and MIC5504-3.3YM5. 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 Lightball KiCad files?
From the Jana-Marie/lightball repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/lightball.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Lightball design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask Jana-Marie before reusing the design.
