Questions

How big is the Neopixel ring PCB?

It measures 51 × 41.7 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Neopixel ring use?

35 parts, built around the 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 Neopixel ring KiCad files?

From the sadekbaroudi/neopixel-ring repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcb/neopixel-ring.kicad_pcb and its schematic pcb/neopixel-ring.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Neopixel ring design in my own project?

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