Questions

How big is the MusePad PCB?

It measures 57.4 × 44.2 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the MusePad use?

26 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 MusePad KiCad files?

From the Thigamore/MusePadPCB repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is MusePad.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the MusePad design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask Thigamore before reusing the design.
