Questions

How big is the Segment Display Board PCB?

It measures 58.4 × 141 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Segment Display Board use?

94 parts, built around the ATMEGA328P-AU, FT232RL, DS1307Z+ and SN74HC595D. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the Segment Display Board KiCad files?

From the FRC-1721/AccidentCounter repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Hardware/Segment_Display_Board/Segment_Display_Board.kicad_pcb and its schematic Hardware/Controller/Controller.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Segment Display Board design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask FRC-1721 before reusing the design.
