From the project

This board is derived from GR-Trackpad65 by geek-rabb1t (MIT License, see LICENSEGR-Trackpad65; original files in srcgrt65/).

This board is derived from GR-Trackpad65 by geek-rabb1t (MIT License, see LICENSEGR-Trackpad65; original files in srcgrt65/).

GR-Trackpad65 is 65 × 49 mm with 15 Tx × 10 Rx. Its electrode pitch is 4.2 mm (Tx) × 4.7 mm (Rx). Keeping 10 Tx columns gives exactly 42 mm, so the electrode shape, pitch and IC surroundings are reused as they are. Only the board was cut down.
