What is Pixeldust?
This is a brand new (in development) YSWS where you design your own neopixel-based PCB trinket, and we'll ship it to you for free! Make sure to join #pixeldust in the slack so you dont miss out!!
You ship...
- A PCB design for the board
- Working firmware to control the neopixels
We ship...
-
1 fully assembled PCB
- This will include your XIAO RP2040 as well as the neopixels
-
2 unassembled PCBs
Requirements
- Your firmware must be working!!! We won't approve any without.
- It must be more complex than just a simple blinking LED
- Your PCB cannot exceed 100cm^2
- Your PCB must only use 2 layers

Questions
How big is the Pixel PCB?
It measures 100.1 × 99.3 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Pixel use?
42 parts, built around the AMS1117-3.3 and 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 Pixel KiCad files?
From the hackclub/pixeldust repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is submissions/NanoLeaf/pcb/pixel.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Pixel design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask hackclub before reusing the design.
