Questions

How big is the Proton PCB?

It measures 26.4 × 22.6 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Proton use?

21 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 Proton KiCad files?

From the arfrie22/PCB-BOM-Test repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Proton.kicad_pcb and its schematic Proton.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Proton design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask arfrie22 before reusing the design.
