Questions

How big is the 8BitWiFiVisualizer PCB?

It measures 60 × 45 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the 8BitWiFiVisualizer use?

29 parts, built around the ESP-WROOM-02D and 74HC595. 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 8BitWiFiVisualizer KiCad files?

From the stasiselectronics/8BitWiFiVisualizer repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Hardware Files/8Bit_WiFi_Visualizer.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the 8BitWiFiVisualizer design in my own project?

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