Which microcontrollers do boards using the WS2811F use?
Most are built on ESP32 (2) and STM32 (1).
How big is a typical board using the WS2811F?
The median is 66 × 100 mm, and 67% are two-layer designs.
What is the most popular open source board using the WS2811F?
By GitHub stars, Bmcv by Bemeier, with 7 stars.
Can I simulate one of these boards using the WS2811F before building it?
Yes. HardLabs turns a board's netlist and BOM into a working simulation, so you can boot and test firmware against it with no hardware on your desk.
