About the HackPad PCB

HackPad is an open source Microchip SAM PCB design by Dreamer-Cloud-blip, published on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board measuring 77.2 × 60.9 mm, with 19 components from 7 distinct parts.

Its main chip is the MOUDLE-SEEEDUINO-XIAO, from the Microchip SAM family. By type, the board carries 10 diodes, 7 switches, 1 IC and 1 connector.

It belongs with the displays & leds designs in this gallery.

From the project

A compact, custom-designed screwless 6-key mechanical macropad built with a Seeeduino XIAO, a rotary encoder, a 128x32 OLED display, and powered by Python-based KMK firmware.

HackPad: common questions

What microcontroller does the HackPad use?

The HackPad is built around the MOUDLE-SEEEDUINO-XIAO, from the Microchip SAM family.

How big is the HackPad PCB?

The HackPad measures 77.2 × 60.9 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the HackPad?

19 components, from 7 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 HackPad design files?

From the Dreamer-Cloud-blip/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 HackPad design in my own project?

The repository has no license, so all rights stay with Dreamer-Cloud-blip. 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 Microchip SAM firmware against it before you order a PCB.
