Questions

How big is the Macropad2 PCB?

It measures 60.7 × 79.8 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Macropad2 use?

20 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 Macropad2 KiCad files?

From the abhi3231/macropad repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is macropad2.kicad_pcb and its schematic OPL_Kicad_Library-master/Grove Vision AI V2 Library/Grove - Vision AI Module V2.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Macropad2 design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask abhi3231 before reusing the design.
