The SparkFun SMD LED Light Pipe is a 5mm plastic lens and housing for mounting SMD LEDs in a 90° board edge configuration. Commonly used for circuit board indicators (CBI). Circuit board indicators should be any color and take only one GPIO to control them all!

Questions

How big is the SparkFun SMD LED Light Pipe Footprint Test PCB?

It measures 21.3 × 33 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the SparkFun SMD LED Light Pipe Footprint Test use?

21 parts, built around the APA102-2020. 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 SparkFun SMD LED Light Pipe Footprint Test KiCad files?

From the sparkfun/SparkFun_SMD_LED_Light_Pipe repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Footprint Test/SparkFun_SMD_LED_Light_Pipe_Footprint_Test.kicad_pcb and its schematic Footprint Test/SparkFun_SMD_LED_Light_Pipe_Footprint_Test.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the SparkFun SMD LED Light Pipe Footprint Test design in my own project?

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