README
readme.mdSchematic and PCB for my workbench light controller
The workbench light is a 1m strip of APA102C Cool White LEDs, 144 LEDS/m.
The controller is a custom PCB that uses capacitive touch buttons and is based on a PIC16F1719
The light housing is made from an aluminum commercial door threshold and some 3/8" black gas piping.
This is a work-in-progress with more information to come

Questions
How big is the LightController PCB?
It measures 91.4 × 87.6 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the LightController use?
69 parts, built around the LM358 and BTS6143D. 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 LightController KiCad files?
From the svcguy/lightControllerHW repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is lightController.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the LightController design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask svcguy before reusing the design.
