Questions

How big is the Blinkr PCB?

It measures 22.4 × 25.9 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Blinkr use?

8 parts, built around the NE555D. 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 Blinkr KiCad files?

From the polygon/blinkr repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is circuit/blinkr.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Blinkr design in my own project?

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