Questions
How big is the ARGB nrf52840 PCB?
It measures 33.5 × 55.6 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the ARGB nrf52840 use?
35 parts, built around the 74AHCT245D, MDBT50Q-1MV2, GD25Q16CSIG and AP2112K-3.3. 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 ARGB nrf52840 KiCad files?
From the gamblor21/aRGB-Controller repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is aRGB-nrf52840.kicad_pcb and its schematic aRGB-nrf52840.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the ARGB nrf52840 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).
