Questions
How big is the Pixels shield PCB?
It measures 68.6 × 53.3 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Pixels shield use?
56 parts, built around the CH340N, USBLC6-2SC6 and XC6206P332MR. 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 Pixels shield KiCad files?
From the eurovibes/pixels-shield repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pixels-shield.kicad_pcb and its schematic pixels-shield.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Pixels shield design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the CERN-OHL-S-2.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
