Questions

How big is the New macropad PCB?

It measures 82.2 × 110.4 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the New macropad use?

45 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 New macropad KiCad files?

From the TomasD-git/MacroPad-V2 repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is KiCad/New macropad.kicad_pcb and its schematic KiCad/New macropad.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the New macropad design in my own project?

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