Questions
How big is the I2c led PCB?
It measures 22.9 × 14 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.2 mm thick.
What parts does the I2c led use?
15 parts, built around the AW9523BTQR. 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 I2c led KiCad files?
From the lbthomsen/i2c_led repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcb/i2c_led.kicad_pcb and its schematic pcb/i2c_led.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the I2c led design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask lbthomsen before reusing the design.
