Questions

How big is the Rootpad PCB?

It measures 76.2 × 99.2 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Rootpad use?

60 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 Rootpad KiCad files?

From the vinay1337/rootpad repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is rootpad/rootpad.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Rootpad design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the GPL-3.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
