Design notes
hackpad.kicad_pro, hackpad.kicad_sch, and hackpad.kicad_pcb contain the
manually edited KiCad design for this macropad. See BUILD_GUIDE.md for the
design process and wiring notes.
Design constraints (for reference): through-hole XIAO RP2040, ≤100×100 mm, 2 layers.
The design contains 8 footprints (3 switches, the XIAO, and 4 M2 mounting
holes), nets GND/GP2/GP4/GP3, signal traces on F.Cu, a GND zone on B.Cu, and an
Edge.Cuts outline. Before manufacturing, run ERC and DRC in KiCad and refill the
GND zone with B.

Questions
How big is the Hackpad PCB?
It measures 59 × 40 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Hackpad use?
8 parts. 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 SiriusW823/Hackpad repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB/hackpad.kicad_pcb and its schematic PCB/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 SiriusW823 before reusing the design.
