Questions

How big is the MacroBoard PCB?

It measures 92.4 × 75 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the MacroBoard use?

26 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 MacroBoard KiCad files?

From the evanofslack/macropad repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is KiCAD/MacroBoard_v1/MacroBoard/MacroBoard.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the MacroBoard design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
