Questions
How big is the MLS Schematic PCB?
It measures 25 × 0.5 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the MLS Schematic use?
94 parts, built around the ESP32-C3, AP2112K-3.3, WS2812B and B5819W. 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 MLS Schematic KiCad files?
From the NerdST/MIDILights-PCB repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is MLS_Schematic.kicad_pcb and its schematic MLS_Schematic.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the MLS Schematic design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask NerdST before reusing the design.
