Questions
How big is the AlarmClock PCB?
It measures 69.8 × 50 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the AlarmClock use?
40 parts, built around the ATMEGA8A-AU and L7805. 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 AlarmClock KiCad files?
From the GHOST-mHBr/PCBs repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Alarm-Clock/AlarmClock/AlarmClock.kicad_pcb and its schematic 7seg/7seg.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the AlarmClock design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask GHOST-mHBr before reusing the design.
