Questions
How big is the HackPad PCB?
It measures 89 × 90 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the HackPad use?
31 parts, built around the SK6812MINI-E. 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 HackPad KiCad files?
From the shivamsinghydv/side-kick repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is HackPad.kicad_pcb and its schematic HackPad.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the HackPad design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask shivamsinghydv before reusing the design.
