Paste this into Claude Code (VS Code panel, Adom editor, or terminal) to install:

Search the Adom Wiki for the molecule "Scott LED Nameplate" (slug: scott-led-nameplate) at https://wiki-ufypy5dpx93o.adom.cloud/wiki/molecules/scott-led-nameplate. Download its symbol (.kicad_sym), footprint (.kicad_mod), and 3D model (.glb/.step) assets into my current KiCad project under symbols/, footprints/, and 3dmodels/ directories. Register them in the project library tables. Show me the files once installed.

A USB-C-powered desk decoration that spells SCOTT in green LEDs.

What's on the board

  • ~46 green 0603 LEDs forming a 3×5 bitmap of each letter
  • One 300 Ω 0402 current-limit resistor per LED (≈10 mA each → ~460 mA / 2.3 W total)
  • USB-C TYPE-C-31-M-12 receptacle on the south edge (J1, JLCPCB C165948)
  • 5.1 kΩ CC pulldowns (R_CC1, R_CC2)
  • 10 µF X5R bulk decoupling cap (C_BULK)
  • 4 corner machine-contact pins (MC1–MC4) so the board fixtures into the standard Adom workcell

Powering it

Plug any USB-C cable into the south edge — phone charger, laptop charger, anything 5 V. The letters light up.

How it was built

Authored in tscircuit (TSX, see source bundle). Published to the wiki with adom-tsci export-wiki so the live 3D viewer (orbit, x-ray, walkthrough) is embedded right on this page.

Designed by Adom in Fort Worth, Texas.
