Questions
How big is the HackDice PCB?
It measures 40 × 49.1 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the HackDice use?
17 parts. 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 HackDice KiCad files?
From the NanoMars/HackDice repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is SRC/HackDice.kicad_pcb and its schematic SRC/HackDice.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the HackDice design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask NanoMars before reusing the design.
