Questions

How big is the Microbadge PCB?

It measures 6 × 6 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Microbadge use?

13 parts, built around the ATTINY816-MN and 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 Microbadge KiCad files?

From the Pips801/microbadge repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is microbadges/ATTiny816 LEDs/Microbadge.kicad_pcb and its schematic microbadges/ATTiny816 LEDs/Microbadge.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Microbadge design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask Pips801 before reusing the design.
