Questions

How big is the Nixies PCB?

It measures 240 × 70 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Nixies use?

30 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 Nixies KiCad files?

From the Synthron/Nixie repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Hardware/PCB/nixies.kicad_pcb and its schematic Hardware/PCB/driver.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Nixies design in my own project?

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