• After laying out various alternatives I ended up using 60 APA102C. I actually just pressed the 'order' button! $240 for five boards :d

    I wrote about the process on my blog
    and here is what I just ordered:

    They are 25mA nominal I think I read somewhere, so 70*0.025mA = 1.75A but for good measure I rated everything for 3A.

    I grouped the µCU and RTC in one block with the silkscreen, and the power regulation in another block.

    I'm about to pull the trigger on the parts from Mouser as well :)
