Overview
Pix frame is an open-source printed circuit board by kochka, from the kochka/pix_frame repository on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board of 54 × 145 mm with 22 parts on 36 nets, routed with 68 tracks and 7 vias.
It is built around the IRF4905 and PJ-102AH. Its parts include 6 resistors, 6 connectors, 2 capacitors, 2 ICs and 1 diode. It belongs with the lEDs and displays boards and the ESP32 and RISC-V boards of this library.

hardware/pcb/README.mdCarrier PCB
KiCad 10 project for the pix-frame revision A carrier: 54 × 145 mm, two copper layers, 1.6 mm board thickness. The Waveshare ESP32-C6-DEV-KIT-N8 mounts directly by its castellations. The carrier includes an IRF4905 high-side switch, MINI560 5 V converter, 1N5819 isolation diode, flat-tab DC jack and matrix/sensor/switch wire-solder pads. C1 and Q1 mount horizontally.
The hardware reference documents component values, pad assignments, module polarities, mechanical dimensions and commissioning.

Questions
How big is the Pix frame PCB?
It measures 54 × 145 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Pix frame use?
22 parts, built around the IRF4905 and PJ-102AH. 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 Pix frame KiCad files?
From the kochka/pix_frame repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/pcb/pix-frame.kicad_pcb and its schematic hardware/pcb/pix-frame.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Pix frame design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask kochka before reusing the design.
