A simple PCB to test SMD LEDs. Solder your SMD LEDs and add an adaquate resitor to it and you will be able to choose quickly the right couple LED/R for your next project !
I did it since I do have quite a lot of references of SMD LEDs in my personnal stock so I would forget what color they are.
For time for me with sending custom panel to a manufacturer, everything went nice. Used GitHub - ThisIsNotRocketScience/GerberTools: Tools to load/edit/create/panelizer sets of gerber files
This project is still in progress !
This is the first revision, I got the PCBs from JLC and they're nice !
But there a few mistakes and changes to do for next revision :
-
Change the solderjump for a bigger one. Might also chage by a 1x2 2.54mm connector and 2.54mm jumper.
-
Get the 0402 and 0804 LEDs on same footprint (and might also add THT LEDs)
-
Same but for 0402 and 0804 SMD resistors
-
Increase the maring sikscreen area, it is currently not enough to easily write the LEDs' references on it.
-
Add silkscreen to right S/N off the PCB.
-
Change the silkscreen color, the blue is definitey not wise when you want to write on it with black/blue permanent marker. Might try white FR4 with black silkscreen.

Questions
How big is the GL019 LED test PCB?
It measures 40.6 × 57.2 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the GL019 LED test use?
49 parts. 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 GL019 LED test KiCad files?
From the gydius/GL019_LED_tester repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is GL019_LED_test.kicad_pcb and its schematic GL019_LED_test.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the GL019 LED test 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).
