Questions

How big is the DeskLightGithub PCB?

It measures 44.4 × 50.1 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the DeskLightGithub use?

14 parts. 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 DeskLightGithub KiCad files?

From the shreeyuvan2020/DeskGitLight repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is DeskLightGithub.kicad_pcb and its schematic DeskLightGithub.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the DeskLightGithub design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask shreeyuvan2020 before reusing the design.
