Questions

What parts does the Rigel b hw use?

58 parts, built around the BALFHB-WL-02D3, SAM-M10Q-00B, CH340X and KH-SMA-K513-G. 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 Rigel b hw KiCad files?

From the Longhorn-Rocketry-Electronics/Rigel repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is rigel-b-tx/rigel-b-hw/rigel-b-hw.kicad_pcb and its schematic rigel-a-rx/rigel-a-hw/rigel-a-hw.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Rigel b hw design in my own project?

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