Questions

How big is the Macropad- PCB?

It measures 78.8 × 40.6 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Macropad- use?

15 parts, built around the SK6812MINI-E. 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 jayadevtp1/Macropad- repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB/Macropad.kicad_pcb and its schematic PCB/Macropad.kicad_sch. 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 jayadevtp1 before reusing the design.
