Questions

What parts does the Hackpad use?

19 parts, built around the 1N4148WT. 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 sofiamatosg/CatPad 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 sofiamatosg before reusing the design.
