Questions
How big is the MacroKeypad PCB?
It measures 160 × 110 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the MacroKeypad use?
104 parts, built around the 1N4148W. 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 MacroKeypad KiCad files?
From the Linn39403/macropad repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Kicad/MacroKeypad.kicad_pcb and its schematic Kicad/KiCadLib/KiCad-RP-Pico/Test/Test.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the MacroKeypad design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask Linn39403 before reusing the design.
