Questions

How big is the PixelBoard PCB?

It measures 33 × 45 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the PixelBoard use?

21 parts, built around the 74AHCT125D, CH340C, ESP32-WROOM-32 and AP2112K-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 PixelBoard KiCad files?

From the hamzaa-exe/PixelBoard repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB/PixelBoard.kicad_pcb and its schematic PCB/PixelBoard.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the PixelBoard 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).
