Questions

How big is the Hackpad 2.0 PCB?

It measures 81.5 × 57.4 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Hackpad 2.0 use?

19 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 Hackpad 2.0 KiCad files?

From the AndyHanBuilds/Time-Machine repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcb/Hackpad 2.0.kicad_pcb and its schematic pcb/Hackpad 2.0.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Hackpad 2.0 design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
