Questions
How big is the Nixie clock copy PCB?
It measures 131.3 × 63.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Nixie clock copy use?
23 parts, built around the 74HC595 and IN-12B. 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 Nixie clock copy KiCad files?
From the Determinant/nixie-clock repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is circuits/nixie-clock-copy.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Nixie clock copy design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask Determinant before reusing the design.
