PCB_Wordclock

This PCB can be used to build a word clock with WS2812b or SK6812 LEDs. The matrix uses 110 LEDs in a 11x10 grid. The PCB is designed to be used with a front cover of 450x450mm. There are multiple connections on the board for the LED controller and power supply. Additionally there is a data out pin to connect the minute dots after the main LEDs.

Several mounting holes are also available.

Questions

How big is the Wordclock PCB?

It measures 320 × 320 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Wordclock use?

233 parts, built around the 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 Wordclock KiCad files?

From the Hasenpups/PCB_Wordclock repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Wordclock.kicad_pcb and its schematic Wordclock.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Wordclock design in my own project?

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