#WS2812B LED mount for micro brushless motors

A simple breakout board that allows you to mount a WS2812B LED underneath a brushless motor (110x size). measured against Racerstar 1103 which has a 8.5mm diameter spacing between the screw holes. Space for a 805 SMD cap near the V+ and GNDof the LED package. 3-wire pin connectors for both DIN and DOUT for daisy chaining.

Using WS2812B library from https://github.com/madworm/WS2812B.pretty

Questions

How big is the MicroLED PCB?

It measures 25 × 15 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the MicroLED use?

5 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 MicroLED KiCad files?

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

Can I use the MicroLED design in my own project?

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