Questions
How big is the SimpleLEDdriver PCB?
It measures 41 × 35 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the SimpleLEDdriver use?
33 parts, built around the BSS138. 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 SimpleLEDdriver KiCad files?
From the CreoNic/LEDdriverBoard repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is SimpleLEDdriver/SimpleLEDdriver.kicad_pcb and its schematic SimpleLEDdriver/SimpleLEDdriver.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the SimpleLEDdriver design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask CreoNic before reusing the design.
