PCB XMAS TREE

The schematics has been inspired from the famous LED chaser made out of the two known IC 555 and 4017.

The idea with this xmas tree is turn led (semi-random) and keep a light on the top allways turn ON.

i then created a custom PCB shape from Inkscape to import it into Fritzing.

Please follow this link instruction if you want to do your own custom PCB.

And then after loats of hours trying to figure out the best route, i came up with this template only one jumper :)

And all was left to do was to export it for production as SVG wich i then converted as a DXF into Inkscape. the idea there was to get the outline of each traces in order to mill it on my CNC.

Here is the DXF file of the outline of taces for who are a bit lazy :P
