Questions
How big is the Ledcomms PCB?
It measures 65.5 × 53.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Ledcomms use?
16 parts, built around the LM393. 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 Ledcomms KiCad files?
From the umeding/BUSC repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is ledcomms/ledcomms.kicad_pcb and its schematic dimmer/dimmer.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Ledcomms design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the Unlicense licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
