7seg clock render front
Over the christmas break, I've been messing around with Kicad. I've been wanting to make a clock for a while now and figured it would be a good excuse to learn a new schematic and PCB design program. It's not that bad after getting used to it. The autorouter is pretty useless and I ended up routing everything by hand.
I will be sending this off for manufacture soon and ordering all the parts to populate it. This board will be about 7.5 x 2.3 inches with the digits being 1" high, and it will rest between a few sheets of lexan.

Looks good. Is this 3D generated by KiCAD itself?
Eagle autorouter pretty useless too for complex circuits. I talked to some experienced people, and they all rout their PCBs by hand too. ; )

Hey Mike,
How ya doin'? Long time no see, IRF-BSB 2006, right?
I see you are keeping busy. You know there are clocks at Wal*Mart eh? No need to make your own ... LOL
See you down the road.
BTW, I've migrated my pictures to Picassa, I do not want to pay Yahoo anymore ...
Cheers, Jim
