Overview

Decade counter is an open-source printed circuit board by mage0r, from the mage0r/decade_counter repository on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board of 30.2 × 42.6 mm with 26 parts on 17 nets, routed with 133 tracks and 12 vias.

It is built around the WS2812B. Its parts include 12 connectors, 9 resistors, 2 ICs and 1 capacitor. It belongs with the AVR (ATmega, ATtiny) boards of this library.

Attiny 85 Decade Counter

This project puts an attiny 85 and a neopixel into a decade counter.

The decade counter in question is available from adafruit (http://www.adafruit.com/products/1082 "Mechanical Decade Counters"). Each stock counter has 10 pins and a common ground, with this replacement board the values can be read using an i2c connection on a common bus.

There are three sections, the circuit design for kicad, an arduino sketch with some awful code in it and lastly a few photos of the finished product.

The neopixel was included to hopefully shine some rgb light out the viewing window. However in practice this light can't be seen. 3D printing a replacement dial is the next step in this project.

Questions

How big is the Decade counter PCB?

It measures 30.2 × 42.6 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Decade counter use?

26 parts, built around the WS2812B. 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 Decade counter KiCad files?

From the mage0r/decade_counter repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Circuit/decade_counter.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Decade counter design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask mage0r before reusing the design.
