About the PixArt PCB
PixArt is an open source PCB design by trzy, published on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board measuring 49.5 × 49.5 mm, with 4 components from 4 distinct parts.
Other key parts include the PAJ7025. By type, the board carries 2 capacitors, 1 IC and 1 connector.
From the project
PAJ7025R2 for 6dof tracking: code (Arduino, Windows) and PCB (KiCad).
Cutout was created using an NPTH pad, with hole and pad dimensions being identical. Then, the following procedure was used to copy this to the Edge.Cuts layer (while also retaining it in "All copper layers", or wherever the hole appears by default).
