They said they needed "thickness, width, length, holes sizes, etc…" If you could help me out that would be great. Thanks Jason,

Many of the parts require extensive hand labor and lots of machine time on my little CNC mill. I am still trying to find ways to develop a kit, but nothing is going to happen soon I'm afraid.

I have ordered and built the Ice Tube Clock from Adafruit, but I really like yours. You have many more features on yours, and you have the supercool Casing feature going for yours as a bonus. I don't do programing, so I would have problems adding the features to mine. It would be really great if you decided to make a kit for your clock available. Kevin Hello Jason

That is one awesome looking clock.

It would be really great if you decided to make a kit for your clock available.

SMD vs. PTH, for instance. In any case, the data sheet for the socket you are using should show the pinout. The one I used was PTH and the data sheet has the pinout at: http://www.usa-assmann.com/specs/a-ccsxx-x-r.pdf @peter

i said socket
but it can happen

i need the pinout of the plcc socket :P

It should be easy enough for you to rip out the bits you don't need. Feel free to email me at jason@vonnieda.org if you have any specific questions. @peter – the code is really well documented.
