Questions
How big is the Macro pad PCB?
It measures 45 × 79 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Macro pad use?
10 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 Macro pad KiCad files?
From the idksacp/Macro_pad repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcb/macropad.kicad_pcb and its schematic pcb/a.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Macro pad design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask idksacp before reusing the design.
