Questions

How big is the Hackpad PCB?

It measures 51 × 72.3 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Hackpad use?

11 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 Hackpad KiCad files?

From the Fudgeingator3000/Macropad repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Hackpad.kicad_pcb and its schematic Hackpad.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Hackpad design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the GPL-3.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
