My first project is the LED Chaser board. It is a small project just to learn the basics of PCB design and learn soldering. I am following the Blinky guide for this project. I am making the PCB in the shape of an oar blade because I like rowing.

Questions
How big is the LEDChaser PCB?
It measures 91.8 × 43.1 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the LEDChaser use?
20 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 LEDChaser KiCad files?
From the Maz700/LEDChaser repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is LEDChaser.kicad_pcb and its schematic LEDChaser.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the LEDChaser design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask Maz700 before reusing the design.
