Kmshanley/PicoSat-Initiative3The pocket cube standard requires satellites to be 5x5x5cm and under 250 grams. Upon completion of this Wentworth PicoSat it will become one of the smallest satellites capable of high resolution imagery from LEO.
OBCProto is an open-source printed circuit board by Kmshanley, from the Kmshanley/PicoSat-Initiative repository on GitHub, published under the GPL-3.0 licence. It is a 4-layer board of 89 × 54 mm with 126 parts on 190 nets, routed with 2,162 tracks and 440 vias.
It is built around the STM32H723ZGT6, INA236AIDDFR and RP604K331A-TR, with the TPS62840DLCR, W25N01GVZEIGTR and APS6404L-SQN-ZR among its other parts. Its parts include 53 capacitors, 19 ICs, 15 resistors, 12 connectors and 2 inductors. It belongs with the STM32 boards of this library.
The Wentworth Picosat initiative is a group at Wentworth Institute of technology dedicated to making a pocket cube satellite capable of earth observation from LEO.
The pocket cube standard requires satellites to be 5x5x5cm and under 250 grams. Upon completion of this Wentworth PicoSat it will become one of the smallest satellites capable of high resolution imagery from LEO.
This repository is divided into two primary sections:
Contains all firmware related to testing boards or individual components.
Contains the development for the main flight firmware that will be deployed in space.
The easiest way to get started is by using the Stm32CubeIDE.
Downloadable here: https://www.st.com/en/development-tools/stm32cubeide.html
From here you should be able to import the various project files (.ioc) and CubeIDE will handle setup, build tools, and compilation.
The Satellite is composed of several subsystems:

aburt2/EnchantiS3
Repository for the hardware and firmware files for the EnchantiS3 board
rsx-utoronto/RSX-CANSAT-2027
This repository contains all files created by the Aerial Team of Robotics for Space eXploration (RSX) at the University of Toronto, supporting our entry in the 2027 CanSat Competition.
It measures 89 × 54 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1 mm thick.
126 parts, built around the STM32H723ZGT6, INA236AIDDFR, RP604K331A-TR and TPS62840DLCR. 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.
From the Kmshanley/PicoSat-Initiative repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Hardware/OBCProto/OBCProto.kicad_pcb and its schematic Hardware/BaseplateRev0/baseplate.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Its repository publishes it under the GPL-3.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
