Fun side project. Probably does things wrong, and isn't really useful unless you have the same setup I do. Feel free to use as a reference if you want!

Questions

What parts does the Metar frame use?

4 parts, built around the 74HC595. 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 Metar frame KiCad files?

From the jsvana/metar-frame repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is kicad_schematic/metar_frame.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Metar frame design in my own project?

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