Questions

How big is the BigPad PCB?

It measures 188.5 × 65.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the BigPad use?

33 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 BigPad KiCad files?

From the CDX-1/BigPad repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB/BigPad.kicad_pcb and its schematic PCB/BigPad.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the BigPad design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask CDX-1 before reusing the design.
