Questions

How big is the Countdown timer PCB?

It measures 165 × 135 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Countdown timer use?

111 parts, built around the ULN2003, TLV76133DCY, BAT54A and BC847. 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 Countdown timer KiCad files?

From the MartinCowen/countdown-timer-hardware repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is timer_pcb/countdown_timer.kicad_pcb and its schematic frontpanel_pcb/timer_frontpanel.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Countdown timer 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).
