Questions
How big is the 1kHz-555-timer PCB?
It measures 31 × 38 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the 1kHz-555-timer use?
11 parts, built around the NE555P. 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 1kHz-555-timer KiCad files?
From the u7925504/PCB-learning-tasks repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is 1kHz-555-timer/1kHz-555-timer.kicad_pcb and its schematic 1kHz-555-timer/1kHz-555-timer.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the 1kHz-555-timer design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask u7925504 before reusing the design.
