Questions

How big is the Arm PCB?

It measures 277.5 × 18.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Arm use?

83 parts, built around the WS2812B. 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 Arm KiCad files?

From the NalinPlad/fan_display repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is POV_Fan_display/arm/arm.kicad_pcb and its schematic POV_Fan_display/arm/LED_group.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Arm design in my own project?

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