Questions

How big is the Macropad PCB?

It measures 130 × 66.1 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Macropad use?

60 parts, built around the SK6812 and PEC11R-4215F-S0024. 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 Macropad KiCad files?

From the rawoo714/MacroPad-Project repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Macropad/KiCad Files/Macropad.kicad_pcb and its schematic Macropad/KiCad Files/Macropad.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Macropad design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask rawoo714 before reusing the design.
