This is my first KiCAD project to try and make an esp8266 board to run wLED

PCB is being created at JLCPCB

Eventually this will be posted somewhere with more details

Questions

How big is the Wled PCB?

It measures 61.5 × 28.4 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Wled use?

23 parts, built around the ESP-12F and AMS1117-3.3. 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 Wled KiCad files?

From the gmackie/wled_pcb repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is wled.kicad_pcb and its schematic wled.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Wled 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).
