Questions

How big is the Numitron clock PCB?

It measures 97.8 × 38.1 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Numitron clock use?

19 parts, built around the TPIC6595N. 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 Numitron clock KiCad files?

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

Can I use the Numitron clock design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask pierreca before reusing the design.
