Overview

Protoboard is an open-source printed circuit board by less-smog, from the less-smog/protoboard repository on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board of 48 × 67 mm with 19 parts on 14 nets, routed with 257 tracks and 1 via.

It is built around the WS2812B. Its parts include 4 capacitors, 4 resistors, 4 diodes, 4 connectors and 1 IC.

TODO:

  • Align I2C output pins with the rest, so that the pins can be plugged into the edge of a protoboard.
  • Move resistors and diodes to reduce offset from the edge - ideally there should be none.
  • SDS011 connector should be an angled connector, close to the edge of the board.

Questions

How big is the Protoboard PCB?

It measures 48 × 67 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Protoboard use?

19 parts, built around the WS2812B. 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 Protoboard KiCad files?

From the less-smog/protoboard repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Protoboard.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Protoboard design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask less-smog before reusing the design.
