Questions
What parts does the SOCKET use?
14 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 SOCKET KiCad files?
From the devramsean0/Nixie-Pendant-Archived repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is SOCKET/SOCKET.kicad_pcb and its schematic BMS/BMS.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the SOCKET design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask devramsean0 before reusing the design.
