Questions

How big is the Hackpadv1 PCB?

It measures 76.2 × 98.7 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Hackpadv1 use?

50 parts, built around the SK6812MINI-E. 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 Hackpadv1 KiCad files?

From the adityasurendran/hackpad repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB/hackpadv1.kicad_pcb and its schematic PCB/hackpadv1.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Hackpadv1 design in my own project?

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