Questions

How big is the Clock PCB?

It measures 72.4 × 63.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Clock use?

39 parts, built around the 74LS04PC and 74LS32SC. 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 KiCad files?

From the codemonkey76/DIY-8-Bit-Computer repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Clock/Clock.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Clock design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask codemonkey76 before reusing the design.
