## Getting Started

1. **Open the Project** - Open the `.kicad_pro` file in KiCad to view the project.

2. **Review the Design** - Inspect the schematic and PCB layout to ensure it meets your needs.

3. **Customize or Export** - Make any modifications and export the Gerber files for fabrication.

4. **Order the PCB** - Submit the Gerber files to your preferred PCB manufacturer.

5. **Get the Components** - Purchase the components from the BOM and a compatible board.

6. **Assemble the Hardware** - Solder the components and assemble the board.

7. **Upload the Firmware** - Connect the board via USB and upload the firmware.

## Required Components

The following are the required components to build the 2x6 LED Matrix:

| Quantity | Component | Description | Source |

| - | - | - | - |

| 12 | WS2812D 8mm LEDs | Individually addressable RGB LEDs | [AliExpress](https://aliexpress.bitluni.net/ws2812d) |

| 1 | 2×03 Pin Header | 2-row, 3-pin male header | [AliExpress](https://aliexpress.bitluni.net/ws2812d) |
