Simple LED_circuit

Using KiCad a basic circuit of a led with pinout for connection with dupont connectors was created.

This was a simple project just to test out the software and learn its niches.

Creating the ground layer was especially challenging. This was mainly due to the small size of the circuit, due to clearance values the layer wasn't being applied properly.

The final size of board is 9.1mm x 6.9mm

Questions

How big is the LED PCB?

It measures 9.6 × 7 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the LED use?

2 parts. 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 LED KiCad files?

From the Croionxx/Simple_LED repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is LED_schematics/LED.kicad_pcb and its schematic LED.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the LED design in my own project?

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