Questions

How big is the Unix clock improved PCB?

It measures 90 × 80 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Unix clock improved use?

25 parts, built around the IS31FL3236A-QFLS2-TR, DS3231MZ/V+ and BK-912-TR. 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 Unix clock improved KiCad files?

From the derenrich/unix-clock repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is unix-clock-improved/unix-clock-improved.kicad_pcb and its schematic unix-clock-improved/unix-clock-improved.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Unix clock improved design in my own project?

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