Questions

How big is the RGBmatrix PCB?

It measures 82 × 89.4 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the RGBmatrix use?

201 parts, built around the WS2813C. 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 RGBmatrix KiCad files?

From the llatva/RGBmatrix8x8 repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is RGBmatrix.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the RGBmatrix design in my own project?

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