Questions

How big is the 96-leds PCB?

It measures 65.5 × 67.9 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the 96-leds use?

194 parts, built around the SK6812MINI-E. 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 96-leds KiCad files?

From the CapnKernel/96-leds repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is 96leds.kicad_pcb and its schematic 96leds.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the 96-leds design in my own project?

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