Hi ! I'm alex and this is how i made my starby :
first i started with the schematic on kicad following the tutorial
then I put it though the pcb editor and routed it, adding small drawings and such
Finally, I made the firmware with Arduino, adding things such as a sparkle effect and a personalized sprite.

Questions
How big is the Starby PCB?
It measures 541.4 × 244.1 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Starby use?
13 parts, built around the DHT11. 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 Starby KiCad files?
From the mashmallaw/starbie repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is starby/starby.kicad_pcb and its schematic starby/starby.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Starby design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask mashmallaw before reusing the design.
