Questions
How big is the Samd21pad PCB?
It measures 119.3 × 119.3 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Samd21pad use?
46 parts, built around the ATSAMD21E17D-AU, AP2112K-3.3, SMTSO2040CTJ and SKQGAKE020. 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 Samd21pad KiCad files?
From the petejohanson/samd21pad repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is samd21pad.kicad_pcb and its schematic samd21pad.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Samd21pad design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the CERN-OHL-W-2.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
