Binary-Kitchen/nibble_plusplus5A blinky smd soldering challenge
Nibble++ is an open-source printed circuit board by Binary-Kitchen, from the Binary-Kitchen/nibble_plusplus repository on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board with 22 parts on 24 nets, routed with 233 tracks and 10 vias.
It is built around the NE555 and CR202320F. Its parts include 7 resistors, 5 diodes, 3 capacitors, 2 ICs and 1 switch.
A simple PCB to test your SMD hand-soldering skills. Going down to sand grain sized 01005 SMD parts, this button is a challenge for experienced "soldiers" and those who want to become one.

The Idea origins to Ken Olsen and his Attiny SMD Challenge. Many thanks to Ken Olsen for the idea and for opening up this great work to creative commons.
The name Nibble++ origins from a simple nibble peg which has been developed one year earlier. A Nibble is a unit for the amount of 4 bits (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nibble). Because we are using five LEDs we incremented the value ;).

The 21 most common of 22 parts.
22 parts, built around the NE555 and CR202320F. 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.
From the Binary-Kitchen/nibble_plusplus repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is nibble++.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask Binary-Kitchen before reusing the design.
Binary-Kitchen/SMD_Lauflicht
The running light is achieved by a circuit of a clockgenerator NE555 (U1) and two shift registers TI4017 (U2, U3). The NE555 uses the clock signal to shift one bit through both shift registers.
