Overview
First pcb copy is an open-source printed circuit board by Learning-howto-Code, from the Learning-howto-Code/first-pcb repository on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board with 20 parts on 19 nets, routed with 149 tracks and 18 vias.
It is built around the NE555P and TP1. Its parts include 10 diodes, 2 capacitors, 2 resistors and 2 ICs.

I created this project in order to learn how to use Kicad and how the procces works. Hopefully in the future I can create more complicated designs. By the way the github file upload got a little messed up. If there are duplciates of any file, please look at the most recent one, thanks(I'm used to using hte CLI, but didn't want to screw anything up). Also the banner for on blueprint is outdated, but I forgot to chagne it. Sorry

Questions
What parts does the First pcb copy use?
20 parts, built around the NE555P and TP1. 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 First pcb copy KiCad files?
From the Learning-howto-Code/first-pcb repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is first_pcb copy.kicad_pcb and its schematic first_pcb copy.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the First pcb copy design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask Learning-howto-Code before reusing the design.
