This project is designed to control a strip of ws2812 LED's that serve to backlight wall-hung art.
Led backlight is an open-source printed circuit board by LongLiveCHIEF, from the LongLiveCHIEF/led-backlighting-controller repository on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board of 63 × 53 mm with 19 parts on 21 nets, routed with 120 tracks and 13 vias.
It is built around the AMS1117-3.3 and BSS138. Its parts include 6 capacitors, 3 resistors, 3 ICs, 3 connectors and 1 transistor. It belongs with the SAM D and SAM boards of this library.
This project is designed to control a strip of ws2812 LED's that serve to backlight wall-hung art.
At the moment, in it's earliest viable release form, it has one momentary push button that is used to cycle through the available solid color lighting choices.
Future updates for this project will support a potentiometer for dimming, and various animation modes.

The 18 most common of 19 parts.
It measures 63 × 53 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
19 parts, built around the AMS1117-3.3 and BSS138. 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.
From the LongLiveCHIEF/led-backlighting-controller repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is kicad/led-backlight/led-backlight.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask LongLiveCHIEF before reusing the design.
