Questions
How big is the Catpad PCB PCB?
It measures 99.1 × 98.4 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Catpad PCB use?
19 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 Catpad PCB KiCad files?
From the Nadoooor/catpad repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is catpad_PCB/catpad_PCB.kicad_pcb and its schematic catpad_PCB/MCU.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Catpad PCB 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).
