From the project
A PIU pad lighting upgrade kit, featuring a 5x5 RGB LED grid
There are 2 PCB designs being worked on for this project: The main "Panel" PCB Contains all the LEDs, with individual microcontrollers per PCB, ensuring they can all work individually. Fully tested, with updated design/gerber files that hardware issues I initially ran into while prototyping. The power distrubution PCB Takes a barrel jack and/or bare wires via screw terminals. 5V input only! Make sure your power supply can pump out enough amps to power all the LEDs. 5 outputs, one per arrow on one pad. In the case of DDR/ITG pads, one may be left unused. Also includes footprints for filtering…

Power: common questions
How big is the Power PCB?
The Power measures 44 × 25 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the Power?
12 components, from 4 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the Power design files?
From the dj505/Pad-Light-Kit repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the Power design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with dj505. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
