Questions
What parts does the Palmpad7 use?
24 parts, built around the RP2040-ZERO. 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 Palmpad7 KiCad files?
From the codecraft3r/palmpad7 repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is palmpad7.kicad_pcb and its schematic palmpad7.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Palmpad7 design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask codecraft3r before reusing the design.
