Questions

How big is the Macro33 PCB?

It measures 56.5 × 68.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Macro33 use?

36 parts, built around the RP2040, W25Q128JVSIQ and XYDBPCNANF-12MHZ. 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 Macro33 KiCad files?

From the GameTec-live/macro33 repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is macro33.kicad_pcb and its schematic macro33.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Macro33 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).
