LED Backlighting Controller

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.

Questions

How big is the Led backlight PCB?

It measures 63 × 53 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Led backlight use?

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.

Where can I download the Led backlight KiCad files?

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.

Can I use the Led backlight design in my own project?

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