Questions
How big is the Macropad5x5 PCB?
It measures 116.4 × 115.8 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Macropad5x5 use?
100 parts, built around the SN74LV1T125DBV and 1N4148W. 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 Macropad5x5 KiCad files?
From the rcludwick/Macropad5x5 repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Macropad5x5.kicad_pcb and its schematic Macropad5x5.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Macropad5x5 design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
