Questions

How big is the Pixel grid PCB?

It measures 96 × 96 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Pixel grid use?

1,083 parts, built around the 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 Pixel grid KiCad files?

From the akuker/pixel-grid repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pixel_grid_v2/pixel_grid.kicad_pcb and its schematic pixel_grid_v1/one_led.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Pixel grid design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the BSD-3-Clause licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
