Questions

How big is the Neopixel hexigons PCB?

It measures 173.2 × 87.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Neopixel hexigons use?

94 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 Neopixel hexigons KiCad files?

From the alexgrbach/LightHexigonPcb repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcb/neopixel_hexigons.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Neopixel hexigons design in my own project?

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