From the project

Six-tube IN-14 Nixie clock: build guide, KiCad, CadQuery, firmware, website and desktop app (Rev C, unvalidated)

Status: UNVALIDATED. Generated files for schematic review and layout. No copper, no routing, no Gerbers.

Coordinates. The placement board uses KiCad's Y-down axis with the clock's front edge at the bottom of the screen. Enclosure point (x, y) sits at board (20 + x, 20 + 80 − y) mm.

- kicad-cli sch export netlist reads the generated schematic, and every one of the 106 shared nets matches NETMAP.csv. So the schematic files faithfully encode the net map. This is not ERC, and it cannot tell you whether the net map is right*. - pcbnew DRC on the placement board reports 0 violations: the outline…
