Questions

How big is the WLED Controller PCB?

It measures 49.5 × 35.6 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the WLED Controller use?

12 parts, built around the SN74AHCT125N. 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 WLED Controller KiCad files?

From the f2daz/WLED_PCB_D1_Mini repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is WLED_Controller.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the WLED Controller design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
