Questions
How big is the Spacepad PCB?
It measures 80 × 99 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Spacepad use?
60 parts. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
Where can I download the Spacepad KiCad files?
From the 0xmanidev/spacepad repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcb/spacepad.kicad_pcb and its schematic pcb/spacepad.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Spacepad design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask 0xmanidev before reusing the design.
