Questions
How big is the Counter PCB?
It measures 82 × 32.4 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Counter use?
22 parts, built around the 74HCT08D and MMBT3904. 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 Counter KiCad files?
From the Hal9k-dk/lasersaur repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcb/counter/counter.kicad_pcb and its schematic pcb/chillercontrol/chillercontrol.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Counter design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask Hal9k-dk before reusing the design.
