Questions
How big is the Nuled PCB?
It measures 53.5 × 45.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Nuled use?
39 parts, built around the ESP32-C3-MINI-1, AMS1117-3.3, TPS2116DRL and APT1608PGW. 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 Nuled KiCad files?
From the kimtore/wirelight repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is nuled/pcb/nuled.kicad_pcb and its schematic nuled/pcb/audio.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Nuled 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).
