Hey, this is my first custom project for Highway!

Cool! What is it?

This is an LED ring (that goes in your temple) controlled by a XIAO ESP32-C3 to change it's colors, inspired by the Androids from Detroit: Become Human

But why tho

I always wanted to be able to create something entirely up from myself, especially if i can wear it @ FRC events! Highway gave me that possiblity

Questions

How big is the Radiant PCB?

It measures 84.9 × 77.2 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.69 mm thick.

What parts does the Radiant use?

20 parts, built around the SK6812MINI-E. 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 Radiant KiCad files?

From the Qtrocious/Radiant repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB/Radiant.kicad_pcb and its schematic PCB/Radiant.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Radiant design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
