README.mdPlanet Blinky Board
My blinky board is the simple design that resembles a planet and its rings. It has 10 Leds arranged to blink in a circular pattern on the planet design. The Power input for it is on the back for easy to hide cable management to make it look cool.
List of Parts:
- This project uses just the parts that come inside the hackclub blinky board bundle. For the PCB production it is estamated around $24.

Questions
How big is the Blinky Board PCB?
It measures 75 × 33.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Blinky Board use?
19 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 Blinky Board KiCad files?
From the ZECODER2022/Blinky-Board repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is BlinkyBoard/Untitled/Untitled.kicad_pcb and its schematic BlinkyBoard/Untitled/Untitled.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Blinky Board design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask ZECODER2022 before reusing the design.
