Questions

How big is the Clock PCB?

It measures 450 × 120 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Clock use?

194 parts, built around the ATMEGA328P-PU, 74HC595, DS1307+ and TIP127. 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 Clock KiCad files?

From the kpzip/IEEEClock repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is new/pcb/1.0/clock.kicad_pcb and its schematic new/pcb/1.0/clock.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Clock design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the GPL-3.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
