Overview

RGB LED is an open-source printed circuit board by Bindless-Chicken, from the Bindless-Chicken/RGB-Beacon repository on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board with 19 parts on 19 nets, routed with 157 tracks and 14 vias.

It is built around the ATTINY13A-SSU and MMBT3904. Its parts include 8 resistors, 3 transistors, 2 switches, 1 capacitor and 1 IC. It belongs with the lEDs and displays boards and the AVR (ATmega, ATtiny) boards of this library.

RGB Beacon

The RGB Beacon is a small hackable RGB LED based on the ATTiny13a. In addition to a undeniably funky LED, the beacon also integrate a tactile switch and a potentiometer for even more goodness.

Hardware

Bill of materials

The MCU inside the Beacon is a ATTiny13a clocked at 9.6MHz using the onboard oscillator.

The RGB LED is the common anode ASMB-MTB1-0A3A2.

Questions

What parts does the RGB LED use?

19 parts, built around the ATTINY13A-SSU and MMBT3904. 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 RGB LED KiCad files?

From the Bindless-Chicken/RGB-Beacon repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Hardware/RGB_LED.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the RGB LED design in my own project?

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