Welcome to the Magic 8-Ball Badge files/guide.
Here you will find a svg image of the PCB and all the schematics, gerbers and Kicad files you need to make your own Magic 8-Ball Badge. I recommend @MrTwinkleTwink's video on how to convert svg images to Kicad files using Inkscape if you want to make any board chances (https://youtu.be/61NFK9KW).
First off, as a warning, I'm by no stretch of the imagination a professional PCB designer and while I have tested the circuit on a similar project I've yet to receive and test this PCB (Will update when I do). Make sure to check through the schematics and make any changes you feel fit (and try not to have an aneurysm when you look at my wiring).
There are a few quirks to this board. One flaw feature is that the switch doesn't power the PCB on and off, but switches the power from the 8-Ball circuit to the Shitty Add-On headers. Another quirk you might notice in Kicad, is that I couldn't find the footprint for a SW-200D tilt switch so I just used a similar sized component.

1 x Keystone 1058 2032 Coincell Battery Holder
-
1 x CD4017BM Decade counter
-
1 x 0805 10K Resistor
