Questions

How big is the Coolboard PCB?

It measures 21 × 51 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Coolboard use?

40 parts, built around the RP2040 and WS2812B-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 Coolboard KiCad files?

From the kusuta012/Krackboard repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB/coolboard.kicad_pcb and its schematic PCB/coolboard.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Coolboard 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).
