Questions

How big is the EPS PCB?

It measures 60 × 55 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the EPS use?

105 parts, built around the ZXCT1009FTA and BC557. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the EPS KiCad files?

From the AMSAT-EA/easat-2 repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/EPS/EPS.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the EPS design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask AMSAT-EA before reusing the design.
