Questions
How big is the Grandiceps PCB?
It measures 149.8 × 310.3 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Grandiceps use?
87 parts, built around the WS2812B. 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 Grandiceps KiCad files?
From the vattern/grandiceps repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is grandiceps.kicad_pcb and its schematic bottom/bottom.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Grandiceps design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask vattern before reusing the design.
