Questions

How big is the Tach PCB?

It measures 51 × 58.9 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Tach use?

92 parts, built around the 74ABT126D, LM2840XQMK, TMP20AIDCK and LM27762DSS. 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 Tach KiCad files?

From the bistromath/tach repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcbr2/tach/tach.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Tach design in my own project?

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