Questions

What parts does the ARC Reactor use?

44 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 ARC Reactor KiCad files?

From the jorisplusplus/ARC-Reactor repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/ARC-Reactor.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the ARC Reactor design in my own project?

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