Questions

How big is the Macro pad PCB?

It measures 79.6 × 61.1 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Macro pad use?

50 parts, built around the ATMEGA16U2-MU, PEC11R-4215F-S0024 and DX07S016JA1R1500. 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 Macro pad KiCad files?

From the eric-wood/macro-pad repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is macropad.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Macro pad design in my own project?

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