Esp32 battery powered Zigbee fairy lights

A little thing I threw together this christmas.

It uses a DFRobot firebeetle2 esp32c6 as a zigbee end device, which is then used to manage the output of a LED driver.

This is then used to power some outdoor fairy lights.

Questions

How big is the Fairylights driver PCB?

It measures 70 × 100 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.67 mm thick.

What parts does the Fairylights driver use?

11 parts, built around the IHLP1616BZER4R7M11. 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 Fairylights driver KiCad files?

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

Can I use the Fairylights driver design in my own project?

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