Questions
How big is the Nightlight PCB?
It measures 66 × 55.9 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Nightlight use?
59 parts, built around the ESP-12F, AMS1117-3.3, USB-TYPE-C-009 and WS2812B. 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 Nightlight KiCad files?
From the adb-sh/nightlight repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is nightlight.kicad_pcb and its schematic nightlight.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Nightlight 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).
