Questions

How big is the Macro keypad PCB?

It measures 191 × 98.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Macro keypad use?

33 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 keypad KiCad files?

From the iNimbleSloth/macro-keypad repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is KiCAD/MacroKeypad.kicad_pcb and its schematic KiCAD/MacroKeyPad.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Macro keypad design in my own project?

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