Questions
How big is the Macropad PCB?
It measures 61 × 101.8 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Macropad use?
27 parts, built around the 1N4148W. 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 Macropad KiCad files?
From the BrunoGG69/macropad repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/macropad.kicad_pcb and its schematic hardware/macropad.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Macropad design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask BrunoGG69 before reusing the design.
