Overview

Bigtime is an open-source printed circuit board by cillian64, from the cillian64/bigtime repository on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board of 90 × 142 mm with 124 parts on 177 nets, routed with 1,512 tracks and 105 vias.

It is built around the STM32F407VET6, MAX17503ATP+ and NPIC6C596AD, with the TPS62152RGT, 25AA02E48-I/SN and LDL212DR among its other parts. Its parts include 46 capacitors, 31 resistors, 11 diodes, 9 ICs and 8 crystals. It belongs with the lEDs and displays boards and the STM32 boards of this library.

bigtime

A rather large wall clock using big 7-segment displays, powered by 802.3af power-over-ethernet, and synchronised using NTP over wired ethernet. Configuration is done using an interactive USB shell and stored in flash.

One of these clocks is deployed in each of Lecture Theatres 1 and 2 at the Department of Computer Science and Technology (formerly known as the Computer Lab), University of Cambridge, UK.

Questions

How big is the Bigtime PCB?

It measures 90 × 142 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Bigtime use?

124 parts, built around the STM32F407VET6, MAX17503ATP+, NPIC6C596AD and TPS62152RGT. 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 Bigtime KiCad files?

From the cillian64/bigtime repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is board/bigtime.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Bigtime design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask cillian64 before reusing the design.
