KYLE LED Nameplate

A tiny 45 × 16 mm LED nameplate badge that spells KYLE — one red LED per letter, each with its own 330 Ω current-limiting resistor, fed from a single 2-pin VCC / GND header. The whole board is defined in code with tscircuit, so the source below is the schematic.

# KYLE LED Nameplate

A tiny **45 × 16 mm** LED nameplate badge that spells **KYLE** — one red LED per
letter, each with its own 330 Ω current-limiting resistor, fed from a single
2-pin `VCC` / `GND` header. The whole board is defined in code with
[tscircuit](https://tscircuit.com), so the source below *is* the schematic.

## Board at a glance

| **Size** | 45 × 16 mm, 2-layer |
| **LEDs** | 4 × red 0603 (`D1`–`D4`) |
| **Resistors** | 4 × 330 Ω 0603 (`R1`–`R4`) |
| **Power** | 2-pin 2.54 mm header `J1` (`VCC`, `GND`) |
| **Drive** | ~4 mA/LED at 5 V through 330 Ω |
