The 7PB project is based on a pcb with an array of transistors (BC547) that are constantly switching their state while driving leds with different colors.

There are two parts of the hardware. The pcb and the housing of the 7PB. The pcb is created with KiCAD and the housing with FreeCAD. All files are built with github actions so that they are ready for a production environment. The housing is printed with a 3D-printer (Dremel 3D40).
The circuit board is populated on one side (Top). The best way for soldering is within a standard soldering system.
The housing has a tolerance of 0.2mm on each side of the case. So the pcb should fit perfectly in the housing. The tolerance can be modified with FreeCAD in the Parameter Spreadsheet.
