Overview

Json paper is an open-source printed circuit board by trp-solutions, from the trp-solutions/json-paper repository on GitHub, published under the Apache-2.0 licence. It is a 2-layer board of 57 × 28 mm with 7 parts on 47 nets, routed with 77 tracks and 20 vias.

Its parts include 1 IC, 1 connector and 1 switch. It belongs with the ESP32 and RISC-V boards of this library.

Pie charts

Use one draw_pie_slice command for each colored section. Every slice accepts:

ArgumentMeaning
x, yCenter of the chart
radiusSlice radius in pixels
start_angleStarting angle in degrees
sweep_angleClockwise size from 1° through 360°
colorwhite, black, red, or yellow

Zero degrees points right. Angles increase clockwise: 90° points down, 180° points left, and 270° points up. Starting angles outside 0–359° are normalized. Later commands paint over earlier commands when slices overlap.

This example draws a radius-80 chart containing 25% red, 35% yellow, and 40% black:

json
{
  "version": "1.0",
  "commands": [
    {
      "cmd": "draw_pie_slice",
      "args": {
        "x": 200,
        "y": 135,
        "radius": 80,
        "start_angle": 270,
        "sweep_angle": 90,
        "color": "red"
      }
    },
    {
      "cmd": "draw_pie_slice",
      "args": {
        "x": 200,
        "y": 135,
        "radius": 80,
        "start_angle": 0,
        "sweep_angle": 126,
        "color": "yellow"
      }

The PHP helper provides the equivalent method:

php
$display
    ->pieSlice(200, 135, 80, 270, 90, Color::RED)
    ->pieSlice(200, 135, 80, 0, 126, Color::YELLOW)
    ->pieSlice(200, 135, 80, 126, 144, Color::BLACK);

Questions

How big is the Json paper PCB?

It measures 57 × 28 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Json paper use?

7 parts. 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 Json paper KiCad files?

From the trp-solutions/json-paper repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Hardware/JsonPaper.kicad_pcb and its schematic Hardware/JsonPaper.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Json paper design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the Apache-2.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
