Questions
How big is the Lightcontroller PCB?
It measures 78.2 × 106.2 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Lightcontroller use?
65 parts, built around the ESP32-WROVER-E(4MB) and 1N4148W. 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 Lightcontroller KiCad files?
From the plantalytix/hardware repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is plantalytix-light/lightcontroller.kicad_pcb and its schematic plantalyitx-programmer/fg_programmer.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Lightcontroller design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask plantalytix before reusing the design.
