Questions

How big is the Hackpad PCB?

It measures 60 × 77 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Hackpad use?

12 parts, built around the SK6812MINI-E. 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 Toy085/MacroPad 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 Toy085 before reusing the design.
