Questions
How big is the HexDisplayPCB PCB?
It measures 259.8 × 300 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the HexDisplayPCB use?
70 parts, built around the SN74HCT245DWR(LX). 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 HexDisplayPCB KiCad files?
From the daneengman/HexDisplayPCB repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is HexDisplayPCB.kicad_pcb and its schematic HexDisplayPCB.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the HexDisplayPCB design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask daneengman before reusing the design.
