Large digit 7-segments driver
7backpack is an open-source printed circuit board by nagius, from the nagius/7backpack repository on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board of 14 × 83.2 mm with 14 parts on 24 nets, routed with 111 tracks and 8 vias.
Its parts include 9 resistors, 2 ICs, 2 connectors and 1 capacitor.
7Backpack is a shift register based led driver similar to SparkFun Large Digit Driver but with a nicer form factor.
It has been designed to fit directly at the back of common anode 7-segments displays. Four sizes are supported : 1.5" (15101BS), 1.8" (18011BH), 2.3" (23011BH) and 3" (30101BS).
This board is functionnaly identical to SparkFun Large Digit Driver. Exact same code found at Spakfun tutorial can be used without any modification.
The size of the board can be adjusted to match the size of the display. The PCB has pre-cut lines to snap unneeded pieces of the board.
See directory Gerber/ for production files and bill of materials.

It measures 14 × 83.2 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
14 parts. 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.
From the nagius/7backpack repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Kicad/7Backpack.kicad_pcb and its schematic Kicad/7Backpack.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask nagius before reusing the design.
