TellMeLight Rev A1 KiCad Project

Generated: 2026-05-30

Contents

  • tellmelight_rev_a1.kicad_pro: KiCad project.
  • tellmelight_rev_a1.kicad_sch: block-level schematic/net plan for Rev A1.
  • tellmelight_rev_a1.kicad_sym and sym-lib-table: local symbols so KiCad can export a review BOM.
  • tellmelight_rev_a1.kicad_pcb: 4-layer PCB floorplan with stock KiCad footprints.

Important Boundary

This is a Rev A1 JLC-oriented CAD baseline for review. It is not a fabrication release until the pin-by-pin schematic, routing, footprint models, JLC BOM matching, and DFM are reviewed.

Manufacturing Direction

  • 4-layer PCB.
  • Double-sided SMT assembly.
  • No assumed user hand-soldering.
  • Pogo/test pads replace the visible SWD header direction.
  • Front side is kept mostly optical; back side carries logic, USB, power, and service controls.

Visual Mapping

  • D1 and D2: left long bar, oldest side.
  • D3: left middle short bar.
  • D4: right middle short bar.
  • D5 and D6: right long bar, newest side.

Questions

How big is the Tellmelight rev a1 PCB?

It measures 96 × 74 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Tellmelight rev a1 use?

52 parts, built around the RP2040, W25Q32JVSSIQ, AP2112K-3.3 and TPD2EUSB30DRT. 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 Tellmelight rev a1 KiCad files?

From the qiaoyo/TellMeLight repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/kicad/tellmelight_rev_a1/tellmelight_rev_a1.kicad_pcb and its schematic hardware/kicad/tellmelight_rev_a/tellmelight_rev_a.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Tellmelight rev a1 design in my own project?

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