Questions

How big is the Monostable PCB?

It measures 40 × 29.1 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Monostable use?

10 parts, built around the NE555 and B3F-1000. 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 Monostable KiCad files?

From the hellraiserinchief/555_timer repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is monostable.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Monostable design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask hellraiserinchief before reusing the design.
