Questions
How big is the MegaDrivePadTest PCB?
It measures 45.7 × 52.7 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the MegaDrivePadTest use?
25 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 MegaDrivePadTest KiCad files?
From the Board-Folk/MegaDrivePadTest repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is MegaDrivePadTest.kicad_pcb and its schematic MegaDrivePadTest.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the MegaDrivePadTest design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask Board-Folk before reusing the design.
