Questions

How big is the MacroPad PCB?

It measures 86 × 86 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the MacroPad use?

54 parts, built around the ATMEGA32U4 and UJ2-MIBH-4-SMT-TR. 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 Geofff/MacroPad 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 MacroPad design in my own project?

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