Unlike standard "BCD to 7-Seg" chips like the SN74LS247N which only display 0 to 9, and only decode, this board is designed decode full 8-bit hex to dual 7-segment displays. This means that in addition to 0 to 9, A to F both 4-bit nibbles are also displayed. The GAL16V8 comes preflashed with the required code with source code available. The kit is packaged in a reusable plastic case as a through hole kit with all parts necessary for assembly.

Seems strange to connect NE555's output signal DIS directly to Vcc...

I'd suggest adding small resistor between R9 - DIS junction and Vcc...

yea, this was a quick-n-dirty first draft of the design. the 555 was suppose to be configured for 50% duty cycle. i've already corrected this... thanks for the feedback!
