Questions

How big is the Clock box PCB?

It measures 43 × 40 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Clock box use?

95 parts, built around the CH32V203G6U6, LMX2572RHA, LP5907MFX-3.0 and SPX3819M5-L. 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 Clock box KiCad files?

From the betz-engineering/clock_box repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is clock_box.kicad_pcb and its schematic UI.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Clock box design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the CERN-OHL-P-2.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
