Overview
Earring is an open-source printed circuit board by aykevl, from the aykevl/things repository on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board of 75 × 92.5 mm with 60 parts on 36 nets, routed with 684 tracks and 65 vias.
It is built around the AO3401A. Its parts include 36 diodes, 12 resistors, 1 capacitor, 1 IC and 1 transistor. It belongs with the STM32 boards of this library.

This is my personal stash of small electronics projects, usually written using TinyGo.
I won't guarantee anything about it. All I can say is that it did work for me at some point and I like sharing what I made. Many things are written once and then mostly forgotten so I probably won't provide any support for any of the code.
License
Feel free to use this code however you wish (in other words, you can treat it as public domain). Especially for small parts I won't mind if you just copy it in your project. For larger pieces of code or if you copy a project entirely, I would appreciate attribution somewhere (but it's not required).
If you prefer having an actual license for legal reasons, you can use the MIT license - but again, the code is public domain so no need to actually use this:

Questions
How big is the Earring PCB?
It measures 75 × 92.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Earring use?
60 parts, built around the AO3401A. 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 Earring KiCad files?
From the aykevl/things repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is earring-ring-rgb36/earring/earring.kicad_pcb and its schematic amulet-supercap/amulet.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Earring design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask aykevl before reusing the design.
