Questions

How big is the 8x3 PCB?

It measures 66 × 189.6 mm and has 2 copper layers, 0.58 mm thick.

What parts does the 8x3 use?

117 parts, built around the AH49E, SK6812, 74HCT138D and AMS1117-3.3. 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 8x3 KiCad files?

From the miliar/saiboard repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is electronics/kicad_files/8x3/8x3.kicad_pcb and its schematic electronics/kicad_files/11x3/11x3.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the 8x3 design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the GPL-3.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
