Questions

How big is the 8x8 PCB?

It measures 176 × 189.6 mm and has 2 copper layers, 0.58 mm thick.

What parts does the 8x8 use?

222 parts, built around the AH49E and SK6812. 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 8x8 KiCad files?

From the miliar/saiboard repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is electronics/kicad_files/8x8/8x8.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 8x8 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).
