LIGHT PCB

A PCB circuit that switches a grid of lights from a circle to a cross. I made this project to learn more about transistors and multivibrators, and to practice making PCBs with kicad.

Circuit

The logic behind this circuit consists in a bistable multivibrator (flip-flop) that switches between lights in a 4x4 grid. Try it here!

Questions

How big is the Light pcb PCB?

It measures 75 × 95 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Light pcb use?

59 parts. 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 Light pcb KiCad files?

From the afif-ali/light-pcb repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is src/kicad/light-pcb.kicad_pcb and its schematic src/kicad/light-pcb.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Light pcb design in my own project?

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