Questions
How big is the NixiePhoton2Ctrl PCB?
It measures 90 × 70 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the NixiePhoton2Ctrl use?
7 parts. 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 NixiePhoton2Ctrl KiCad files?
From the davidmcq137/NixiePCB repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is NixiePhoton2Ctrl/NixiePhoton2Ctrl.kicad_pcb and its schematic NixieClockV1K7/NixieClockV1.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the NixiePhoton2Ctrl design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask davidmcq137 before reusing the design.
