Matthews-Hackpad

This is my first project that I am bringing to life thanks to HackClub. It is a macropad that is mainly targeted towards multimedia controls.

Questions

How big is the HC Macropad PCB?

It measures 88 × 62 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the HC Macropad use?

9 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 HC Macropad KiCad files?

From the gohawks413/Matthews-Hackpad repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB/HC Macropad.kicad_pcb and its schematic PCB/HC Macropad.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the HC Macropad design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask gohawks413 before reusing the design.
