Overview
RingLight is an open-source printed circuit board by foadyousefi, from the foadyousefi/index repository on GitHub, published under the GPL-3.0 licence. It is a 2-layer board of 16 × 29 mm with 15 parts on 11 nets, routed with 53 tracks and 5 vias.
It is built around the WS2812B. Its parts include 8 diodes, 1 capacitor and 1 connector.

The Index Pick and Place is an open source pick and place machine to aid in Mid-Scale Manufacturing.
This project is under development. It is not currently in a stable state. Development is active and ongoing, but this is not yet a finished design. If you'd like to build one to help find bugs and design issues, please do!
Please read the wiki here! The wiki covers information about the state of the project, contributing instructions, and frequently asked questions.
The Index is designed to be low-cost enough that someone could buy or build one to support making production runs at home or as a small business. It runs using OpenPnP. The Index will eventually be able to do multiple parts of the PCBA manufacturing process. It is currently capable of picking parts and placing them, but eventually the Index will support solder paste dispensing and interfacing with other machines, such as a PCB panel hopper and reflow oven.
Along with the Index machine itself, the project also includes feeders designed to work with the Index. Although they were designed with the Index in mind, they can work with any OpenPnP pick and place with a 20mm x 20mm rail for mounting.
The Index's development process is being cataloged in a series of videos. A playlist of these can be found here.
How do I build one?
It is currently not recommended that folks build the Index for practical purposes. Development is still in progress, so all builds at this time should be considered part of the R&D effort. That being said, we are working on build instructions that can be found on the docs page!

Questions
How big is the RingLight PCB?
It measures 16 × 29 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the RingLight use?
15 parts, built around the 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 RingLight KiCad files?
From the foadyousefi/index repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pnp/pcb/ringLight/ringLight.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the RingLight design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the GPL-3.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
