Questions
How big is the First project PCB?
It measures 35.5 × 35.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the First project use?
8 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 First project KiCad files?
From the Nithish772/pcb-practice-board repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is first_project.kicad_pcb and its schematic first_project.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the First project design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask Nithish772 before reusing the design.
