Home-made electronics. It's probably full of mistakes but it's fun to learn.

4017-chaser

The simplest possible use of a 4017 IC with a 555 to clock it. Works with 10mm LEDs that I had on hand.

Questions

How big is the Nixie base PCB?

It measures 175 × 10 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Nixie base use?

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.

Where can I download the Nixie base KiCad files?

From the pierreca/circuits repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is nixie-base/nixie-base.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Nixie base 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).
