Questions

How big is the LightLetter W PCB?

It measures 139.1 × 95.3 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the LightLetter W use?

78 parts, built around the ATMEGA328P-AU, FT232RL and 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 LightLetter W KiCad files?

From the Dylanfg123/Light-Letters repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is LightLetter_W/LightLetter_W.kicad_pcb and its schematic LightLetter_G/LightLetter_G.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the LightLetter W design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask Dylanfg123 before reusing the design.
