Questions

How big is the CE GlowBit Matrix-8x8 PCB?

It measures 61 × 61 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the CE GlowBit Matrix-8x8 use?

121 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 CE GlowBit Matrix-8x8 KiCad files?

From the CoreElectronics/CE-GlowBit-Matrix-8x8 repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB/pcb.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the CE GlowBit Matrix-8x8 design in my own project?

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