Questions

How big is the LIghtBoard PCB?

It measures 59.8 × 30.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the LIghtBoard use?

12 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 LIghtBoard KiCad files?

From the humanHardDrive/CellLight repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Cell/Layout/Light Board/LIghtBoard.kicad_pcb and its schematic Cell/Layout/Processor/CellLight.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the LIghtBoard 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).
