Questions

How big is the NixieClockV1 PCB?

It measures 462.1 × 130 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the NixieClockV1 use?

69 parts, built around the FOD8320, 74HC4094D and MPSA42. 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 NixieClockV1 KiCad files?

From the davidmcq137/NixiePCB repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is NixieClockV1K5/NixieClockV1.kicad_pcb and its schematic NixieClockV1K7/NixieClockV1.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the NixieClockV1 design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask davidmcq137 before reusing the design.
