Questions

How big is the ApplezPad PCB?

It measures 66.5 × 85.9 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the ApplezPad use?

12 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 ApplezPad KiCad files?

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

Can I use the ApplezPad design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask notchapplez before reusing the design.
