About the Hackpad PCB

Hackpad is an open source RP2040/RP2350 PCB design by hackclub, published on GitHub under the MIT license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 90.2 × 55 mm, with 13 components from 5 distinct parts.

Its main chip is the Seeed Studio XIAO RP2040, from the RP2040/RP2350 family. By type, the board carries 7 diodes, 4 switches, 1 IC and 1 connector.

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

From the project

A macropad (mini-keyboard) You Ship, We Ship (YSWS) by Hack Club. Run by @qcoral!

Orpheuspad is a 4 key macropad with a rotary encoder, an OLED Display. It also has 2 WS2812B Leds, and uses QMK firmware

It serves as an example piece/reference for the hackpad YSWS, since it contains an implementation of every common part.

It has 3 separate printed pieces. The angle, the base where the PCB sits, and the top cover. it also has 2 acrylic plates. One to cover the electronics, the other to hold the switches

Hackpad: common questions

What microcontroller does the Hackpad use?

The Hackpad is built around the Seeed Studio XIAO RP2040, from the RP2040/RP2350 family.

How big is the Hackpad PCB?

The Hackpad measures 90.2 × 55 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Hackpad?

13 components, from 5 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the Hackpad design files?

From the hackclub/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?

Yes, under the terms of its MIT license, which hackclub chose for the repository.

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.
