Questions

How big is the Muon geiger PCB?

It measures 100 × 129.8 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Muon geiger use?

89 parts, built around the 74HC14 and 74LS14PC. 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 Muon geiger KiCad files?

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

Can I use the Muon geiger design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the GPL-3.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
