Questions
How big is the Nixie 2 PCB?
It measures 60 × 43 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Nixie 2 use?
27 parts, built around the ESP32-S3-MINI-1-N8, AP2112K-3.3, IRF840APBF and UF4004. 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 Nixie 2 KiCad files?
From the christianjanev/nixie repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is nixie_2.kicad_pcb and its schematic breakout.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Nixie 2 design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask christianjanev before reusing the design.
