Questions
How big is the Macropad Shiv PCB?
It measures 98.2 × 77.3 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Macropad Shiv use?
35 parts, built around the 1N4148WT and SK6812. 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 Shiv KiCad files?
From the Shiv12-web/Macropad-Shiv repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB/kicad.kicad_pcb and its schematic PCB/kicad.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Macropad Shiv design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask Shiv12-web before reusing the design.
