Credits
This project is based on the Starbie guide by SharKing Studios: https://github.com/SharKingStudios/Starbie
What I changed
- Added a battery connector and a slide switch
- Added a second reset button
- Added mounting holes
- Added silkscreen artwork (starfish and waves) and a "Starbie" label
What's in this repo
- KiCad files (.kicad_pro, .kicad_sch, .kicad_pcb)
- gerbers/ (manufacturing files)
- Imported Libraries (XIAO ESP32 Lbraries and co.)
- BOM.csv (parts list)
License
The original design belongs to its authors and is covered by its own license: https://github.com/SharKingStudios/Starbie/blob/main/LICENSE
The starfish designs were downloaded form online platforms and converted using Inkscape then imported into the project. The dowloaded art files (.png) and converted files (.svg) are not provided here but you can make your's and import it into the project!.

Questions
How big is the Starbie project PCB?
It measures 183.2 × 167 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Starbie project use?
14 parts, built around the DHT11. 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 Starbie project KiCad files?
From the festy-ay/Starbie repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Starbie by Festus/starbie project.kicad_pcb and its schematic Starbie by Festus/starbie project.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Starbie project 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).
