Hackpad: common questions
What microcontroller does the Hackpad use?
The Hackpad is built around the XIAO-RP2040-DIP, from the RP2040/RP2350 family.
How big is the Hackpad PCB?
The Hackpad measures 76 × 45 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the Hackpad?
7 components, from 3 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the Hackpad design files?
From the andylin08/hackpad repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the Hackpad design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with andylin08. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
Can I test firmware for the Hackpad without the hardware?
Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug RP2040/RP2350 firmware against it before you order a PCB.
