Questions
How big is the Mediapad PCB?
It measures 81 × 72.2 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Mediapad use?
19 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 Mediapad KiCad files?
From the billybu10/Mediapad repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB/MediaPad.kicad_pcb and its schematic PCB/MediaPad.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Mediapad design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask billybu10 before reusing the design.
