Questions

How big is the RubyLights PCB?

It measures 76.7 × 58.2 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the RubyLights use?

8 parts, built around the TXB0104RUTR. 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 RubyLights KiCad files?

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

Can I use the RubyLights design in my own project?

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