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 PixeldustPCB PCB?

It measures 54.7 × 66 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the PixeldustPCB use?

38 parts, built around the DHT11 and SK6812MINI-E. 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 PixeldustPCB KiCad files?

From the hackclub/pixeldust repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is submissions/pixeldust_submission/src/pixeldustPCB.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the PixeldustPCB design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask hackclub before reusing the design.
