Questions
How big is the Macro Pad PCB?
It measures 42 × 79.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Macro Pad use?
14 parts, built around the ESP32-S3-WROOM-1-N8 and AMS1117-3.3. 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 Kyguyog/Half-Life-PCB repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Macro-Pad/Macro-Pad.kicad_pcb and its schematic Macro-Pad/Macro-Pad.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 Kyguyog before reusing the design.
