Overview
Meter test rig is an open-source printed circuit board by awkwardengineer, from the awkwardengineer/Clock repository on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board of 67.5 × 14 mm with 17 parts on 8 nets, routed with 61 tracks and 12 vias.
It is built around the MCP1624-I/MC. Its parts include 6 resistors, 2 capacitors, 1 IC, 1 diode and 1 connector.

Intro
This is the repository for the AWK-105 Voltmeter clock. Here is where we'll be storing requirements documents, design history files, useful tidbits of information, and other material that otherwise wouldn't be release to manufacture or included in a Bill of Materials
##Consumer Facing Page The repo may be cool, but it's not for everyone. The consumer facing product page has the bulk of the media material.
##How This Repo Is Organized In general, there are two categories of thing:
- Artifacts that will become part of the Bill Of Materials and will be released to a manufacturer. This includes CAD files, drawings, Gerbers, etc.
- Documentation and design files that record useful and important information, but that the manufacturer doesn't need to actually MAKE something.
The idea was to try to organize the documentation near the design file, kindof like things are arranged below.

Questions
How big is the Meter test rig PCB?
It measures 67.5 × 14 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Meter test rig use?
17 parts, built around the MCP1624-I/MC. 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 Meter test rig KiCad files?
From the awkwardengineer/Clock repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Electrical/Test and Programming Rigs/Meter Test Rig/Electrical/meter test rig.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Meter test rig design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask awkwardengineer before reusing the design.
