Questions

How big is the Hackpadv2 PCB?

It measures 77.6 × 83.6 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Hackpadv2 use?

16 parts. 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 Hackpadv2 KiCad files?

From the UnstoppableBlob/rpad repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB/hackpadv2.kicad_pcb and its schematic PCB/OPL_Kicad_Library-master/Grove Vision AI V2 Library/Grove - Vision AI Module V2.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Hackpadv2 design in my own project?

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