Questions

How big is the ProtoPak64 PCB?

It measures 47.8 × 139.2 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.2 mm thick.

What parts does the ProtoPak64 use?

5 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 ProtoPak64 KiCad files?

From the bigbass1997/ProtoPak64 repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/protopak64.kicad_pcb and its schematic hardware/protopak64.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the ProtoPak64 design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask bigbass1997 before reusing the design.
