Questions

How big is the Macadamia PCB?

It measures 50 × 50 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Macadamia use?

12 parts, built around the AO3400A and AO3401A. 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 Macadamia KiCad files?

From the kinnison/macadamia repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is proto1/macadamia.kicad_pcb and its schematic proto1/comms-iface.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Macadamia design in my own project?

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