Questions

How big is the Nosecone PCB?

It measures 45 × 75 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.67 mm thick.

What parts does the Nosecone use?

130 parts, built around the CP2102N-A01-GQFN24, ESP32-S3-WROOM-1-N8, SAM-M10Q-00B and BMM350. 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 Nosecone KiCad files?

From the Froneusz/design-PCBs repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Nosecone/Nosecone.kicad_pcb and its schematic Nosecone/LDO,Charger.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Nosecone design in my own project?

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