Questions
How big is the Dronedrivers PCB?
It measures 40 × 40 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Dronedrivers use?
64 parts, built around the ESP32-S3-MINI-1U-N8, AMS1117-1.8, AMS1117-3.3 and ICM-20948. 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 Dronedrivers KiCad files?
From the CARS-Carleton-Robotics/driver-pcbs repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is dronedrivers/dronedrivers.kicad_pcb and its schematic LoRa Shield for zed f9p/LoRa Shield for zed f9p.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Dronedrivers design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask CARS-Carleton-Robotics before reusing the design.
