Why:

  • Is is cool, the schooll is coming :O and i dont have a ruler :)

Schematic is randomly connected so it looks good on PCB (not supposed to work :D):

This is a Ruler made as PCB in KiCAD and InkScape(for .svg editing).

  • Every design file is in /images folder.
  • And anyone can modify the PCB Ruler by opening This KiCad project in KiCAD v10+
  • For direct manufacturing, the gerber files .zip is in /gerbers folder
  • Cost around 10 US Dollars :)

Questions

How big is the Ruler kicad PCB?

It measures 304.9 × 35 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Ruler kicad use?

18 parts, built around the 2EDL23N06PJXUMA1 and 74LVC1G11GW. 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 Ruler kicad KiCad files?

From the samanbeer/PCB_Ruler repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is ruler_kicad.kicad_pcb and its schematic ruler_kicad.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Ruler kicad design in my own project?

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