Questions
How big is the Flexleds PCB?
It measures 66 × 50 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Flexleds use?
37 parts, built around the APA102-2020. 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 Flexleds KiCad files?
From the jonnor/projects repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is jewelry/projectedtradition/charging/charging/flexleds/flexleds.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Flexleds design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask jonnor before reusing the design.
