Questions

How big is the Hack Pad v3 KiCad Files PCB?

It measures 98.9 × 70 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Hack Pad v3 KiCad Files use?

27 parts, built around the WS2812B. 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 Hack Pad v3 KiCad Files KiCad files?

From the GoldenDragon63/Hackpadv3 repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB/Hack Pad v3 KiCad Files.kicad_pcb and its schematic PCB/Hack Pad v3 KiCad Files.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Hack Pad v3 KiCad Files design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask GoldenDragon63 before reusing the design.
