Are you using the Arcboard-pcb-inator? And you need more keyyyyys? Arranged in a 2 row / 4 col layout?

features

We are taking 8 individual Cyboard key pcbs, merging them into one FFC output.

  • 8x 0.3mm 8-pin FFC Type-A -> 1x 0.5mm 16-pin FFC Type-A
  • the main FFC connector is a mirror of that on the Arcboard-pcb-inator
  • M3 mounting holes
  • test points
  • cable slots
  • that is all

Questions

How big is the Macropad pcb PCB?

It measures 65 × 30 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Macropad pcb use?

26 parts, built around the HC-FPC-05-10-16RLTAG. 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 pcb KiCad files?

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

Can I use the Macropad pcb design in my own project?

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