Overview

Hexdigit is an open-source printed circuit board by gbrown128, from the gbrown128/hexdigit repository on GitHub, published under the GPL-3.0 licence. It is a 2-layer board of 12.6 × 19 mm with 8 parts on 29 nets, routed with 130 tracks and 4 vias.

It is built around the ATTINY1634-MU and KCSA02-105. Its parts include 2 ICs, 2 connectors and 1 capacitor. It belongs with the lEDs and displays boards and the AVR (ATmega, ATtiny) boards of this library.

hexdigit

A 4-bit hex seven-segment display decoder.

Hex decoding by default, with blanking signal and an option to force decimal display only.

Once the hardware is made, a range of additional features are planned, taking advantage of the daisy chaining feature using UART.

Hardware

The above render shows the basic goal of the product - to fit entirley in the space of the seven-segment display, and also have a DIP footprint for breadboarding.

The harware is based on an ATTiny1634, which has a whole host of capacity for future expansion.

Questions

How big is the Hexdigit PCB?

It measures 12.6 × 19 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Hexdigit use?

8 parts, built around the ATTINY1634-MU and KCSA02-105. 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 Hexdigit KiCad files?

From the gbrown128/hexdigit repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/hardware.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Hexdigit design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the GPL-3.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
