Questions

How big is the DigitalFadingLED PCB?

It measures 38.1 × 25.4 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the DigitalFadingLED use?

56 parts, built around the FT230XS-U, 34AA02-E/P, BU33SD5WG-TR and QS6K21TR. 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 DigitalFadingLED KiCad files?

From the tacitern/DigitalFadingLED repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/DigitalFadingLED/DigitalFadingLED.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the DigitalFadingLED design in my own project?

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