Questions

How big is the Hackpad PCB?

It measures 78 × 84 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Hackpad use?

14 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 Hackpad KiCad files?

From the Magicninja7/hackpad repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcb/hackpad.kicad_pcb and its schematic pcb/hackpad.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Hackpad design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
