Questions

How big is the Big macro pad PCB?

It measures 171.5 × 152.4 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Big macro pad use?

177 parts, built around the GD32F303CGT6, MIC5504-3.3YM5-TR, SRV05-4HTG and RC0603JR-0710KL. 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 Big macro pad KiCad files?

From the obra/big-macro-pad repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is big-macro-pad.kicad_pcb and its schematic big-macro-pad.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Big macro pad design in my own project?

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