Questions
How big is the MacroPad PCB?
It measures 77 × 95.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the MacroPad use?
40 parts, built around the ATMEGA32U4-AU. 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 KiCad files?
From the TheLionBro024/MacroPad repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is MacroPad.kicad_pcb and its schematic MacroPad.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the MacroPad design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask TheLionBro024 before reusing the design.
