Questions
How big is the Vertpad PCB?
It measures 84.6 × 60 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Vertpad use?
18 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 Vertpad KiCad files?
From the VihaanVinoth/vertypad repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcb/vertpad.kicad_pcb and its schematic pcb/vertpad.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Vertpad design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask VihaanVinoth before reusing the design.
