Overview

Egg timer is an open-source printed circuit board by MakersFunDuck, from the MakersFunDuck/Common-Kitchen-Timer-With-LCD-Replacement-Board repository on GitHub, published under the GPL-3.0 licence. It is a 2-layer board of 51 × 43 mm with 25 parts on 39 nets, routed with 307 tracks and 48 vias.

It is built around the ATTINY13A-SU, ESP-12E and TM1621D, with the AMS1117-3.3 among its other parts. Its parts include 5 resistors, 5 ICs, 5 connectors, 4 capacitors and 3 switches. It belongs with the lEDs and displays boards and the ESP8266 and AVR (ATmega, ATtiny) boards of this library.

Common Kitchen Timer With an LCD-Replacement Board

A replacement PCB board for common 4 digit 7 segment LCD kitchen timers

It uses a cheap TM1621D LCD driver. You can solder either Attiny13A, or ESP12E module.

The "Print" function can print out supported letters on the screen. However it is not optimised for memory constains for Attiny13A.

Folder descriptions:

Datasheets: Where datasheets of the components are located (also translations from Chinese)

Fabrication files: Gerber files. You can just upload those to any PCB manufacturer website to get your PCB.

Firmware: Code examples which is written using Arduino framework.

KiCAD files: KiCAD schematics and PCB files

Schematics and Layout files: PDF files for the PCB and Schematics.

If you want to use another LCD, or make your own PCB designs, I explained them in a video if you are interested. https://youtu.be/JNZbfLtlbZA

Questions

How big is the Egg timer PCB?

It measures 51 × 43 mm and has 2 copper layers, 4.69 mm thick.

What parts does the Egg timer use?

25 parts, built around the ATTINY13A-SU, ESP-12E, TM1621D and AMS1117-3.3. 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 Egg timer KiCad files?

From the MakersFunDuck/Common-Kitchen-Timer-With-LCD-Replacement-Board repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is KiCAD files/egg-timer.kicad_pcb and its schematic KiCAD files/egg-timer.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Egg timer design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the GPL-3.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
