I wanted to build this as i have never designed a pcb before This is the first PCB I have designed It is a simple LED chaser board. with text saying MYFIRST PCB. I Learned a lot in this tutorial as i have never used any thing like kicad to design a pcb. I learned: how to design a schematic how to route diffrent components together on a pcb how to generate drill files and how to render my pcb.

Questions
How big is the Blinking board PCB?
It measures 30.5 × 2 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Blinking board use?
19 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 Blinking board KiCad files?
From the layerblayerplus-lgtm/blinking-board repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB./BLINKING BOARD.kicad_pcb and its schematic PCB./BLINKING BOARD.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Blinking board design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask layerblayerplus-lgtm before reusing the design.
