Questions
How big is the Pixel Dust PCB?
It measures 136.9 × 148.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Pixel Dust use?
404 parts, built around the SK6812MINI-E, SS14 and TSW-116-08-T-S-LL. 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 Dust KiCad files?
From the hackclub/pixeldust repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is submissions/The Square of Pain/PCB/Pixel Dust.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Pixel Dust design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask hackclub before reusing the design.
