Questions
What parts does the Macropad use?
32 parts, built around the ATMEGA32U4-MU. 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 eRgo35/Macropad repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Macropad.kicad_pcb and its schematic 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 eRgo35 before reusing the design.
