Questions

What parts does the MacroX4 use?

50 parts, built around the EG1215AA. 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 MacroX4 KiCad files?

From the saddatahmad19/MacroX4 repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is MacroX4.kicad_pcb and its schematic MacroX4.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the MacroX4 design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask saddatahmad19 before reusing the design.
