Post by: Data on Thu, 07 July 2016, 06:55:33: Very nice. That looks like the "top" of the PCB. Is there anything on the bottom?

How are you controlling the LED color/brightness?

I obviously needed to convert the *.schdoc but I was able to download and load the schematic with Kicad without much fuss. My output is attached below, does it look ok? This is my first attempt at converting Altium files..

There is a free Altium viewer which might be enough if you don't want to tweak the design
