Overview
Jelly is an open-source printed circuit board by kitspace, from the kitspace/jelly repository on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board of 59.9 × 32.9 mm with 39 parts on 13 nets, routed with 123 tracks and 4 vias.
It is built around the JS202011SCQN. Its parts include 15 connectors, 2 resistors, 2 diodes, 2 transistors and 1 switch.

1README
README.mdLight-following Jellyfish Bristlebot
This is a small light following robot that consists of a simple analog circuit and uses pager vibration motors and toothbrush heads as a form of locomotion. This was heavily inspired by Facelesstech's project but adds jellyfishness (with the help of svg2mod).
Parts
You can buy most of the parts through the Kitspace page but you will also need:
- 2 toothbrush heads (use some old ones!)
- A LiPo battery with a JST connector and built-in protection, anything between 200 - 400mAh should work well (e.g. from Adafruit)
- 2 pager vibration motors (e.g. from Amazon)
- 3 100mm cable ties (e.g. from Amazon)

Questions
How big is the Jelly PCB?
It measures 59.9 × 32.9 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Jelly use?
39 parts, built around the JS202011SCQN. 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 Jelly KiCad files?
From the kitspace/jelly repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is kicad/jelly.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Jelly design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask kitspace before reusing the design.
