Questions
What parts does the Macropad use?
109 parts, built around the TCAN337D, NRF52840-QIAA-F-R7, TPS631000DRL and MCP2515T-I/ML. 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 moonbeeper/moonpad repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is macropad/macropad.kicad_pcb and its schematic macropad/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 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).
