About the Aoishik s-Hackpad PCB

Aoishik s-Hackpad is an open source RP2040/RP2350 PCB design by aoishik, published on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board measuring 61.9 × 61.9 mm, with 9 components from 3 distinct parts.

Its main chip is the XIAO-RP2040-DIP, from the RP2040/RP2350 family. By type, the board carries 6 switches, 2 diodes and 1 IC.

It belongs with the keyboards designs in this gallery.

From the project

My first macropad project! Aoishik's Hackpad is a 6-key macropad designed for coding and music control and a sleek 3D-printed case.

Case at Light | Case at No Light (Glow in the Dark) :-------------------------:|:-------------------------: |

I wanted to create a macropad that allowed me to code while listening to music simultaneously. I created a macropad using 6 switches and 1 rp2040.

Believe it or not, this was my first time using Fusion 360 and KiCad! I watched numerous tutorials and guides and did a TON of googling, but in the end, I'm pretty proud of the final product. I had the most struggle figuring out how to make sketches, and with the new mouse controls, it definitely took me a while to get the hang of it.…

Aoishik s-Hackpad: common questions

What microcontroller does the Aoishik s-Hackpad use?

The Aoishik s-Hackpad is built around the XIAO-RP2040-DIP, from the RP2040/RP2350 family.

How big is the Aoishik s-Hackpad PCB?

The Aoishik s-Hackpad measures 61.9 × 61.9 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Aoishik s-Hackpad?

9 components, from 3 distinct parts, with part numbers taken from the project's own BOM. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the Aoishik s-Hackpad design files?

From the aoishik/Aoishik-s-Hackpad repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout, the schematic and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Aoishik s-Hackpad design in my own project?

The repository has no license, so all rights stay with aoishik. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.

Can I test firmware for the Aoishik s-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.
