Overview
I created a 555 LED chaser shaped like a cat. It has 10 LEDs and was designed in KiCad. This was designed for Hack Club's Stasis program. The schematic and PCB is below:

Questions
How big is the Blinkycat gerber PCB?
It measures 78 × 71.7 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Blinkycat gerber use?
18 parts, built around the NE555P. 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 Blinkycat gerber KiCad files?
From the hariskadayan/blinkycat repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcb/blinkycat_gerber.kicad_pcb and its schematic pcb/blinkycat_gerber.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Blinkycat gerber design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask hariskadayan before reusing the design.
