Questions

How big is the Addressable 7seg PCB?

It measures 18 × 36 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Addressable 7seg use?

16 parts, built around the WS2811. 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 Addressable 7seg KiCad files?

From the idlehandsdev/addr_7seg repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB/addressable_7seg.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Addressable 7seg design in my own project?

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