GlowSign Main PCB

The main PCB for GlowSign. With all the LEDs, the integrated ESP32, a microphone to make the LED animations react to music - and it runs GlowOS (my WLED fork). But you can also upload your own software to the ESP32. The PCB can be powered via USB-C and via a lipo battery.

Questions

How big is the GlowSignMainPCB PCB?

It measures 169.5 × 83.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.69 mm thick.

What parts does the GlowSignMainPCB use?

130 parts, built around the CP2102-GMR, ESP32-WROOM-32E, AP40P05 and AO3400A. 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 GlowSignMainPCB KiCad files?

From the LEDs-by-glowingkitty/GlowSign repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Main PCB/GlowSignMainPCB.kicad_pcb and its schematic Battery Extension PCB/Battery Extension PCB.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the GlowSignMainPCB design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the GPL-3.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
