Questions
How big is the Gopher bird PCB?
It measures 97.9 × 172.8 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Gopher bird use?
18 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 Gopher bird KiCad files?
From the sat0ken/gopher-board repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is rp2040/v2/gopher_bird.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Gopher bird 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).
