PCB Ordering Information:
Export the PCB files as Gerber. See online tutorial for details. Upload drill files, gerber files, BOM and .pos file to JLCPCB for PCB manufacture and assembly. JLC can assemble most of the components other than RFM95W, GPS, Baro and various other minor parts. I highly reccomend to have JLC assemble the ESP32 chip for you.
For code to run on the board, see my rocket-software repository.
Errata List:
- PWR and GND for XT-30 connector are reversed.
- Round edges of PCB to minimise stress concentrations.
Areas for improvement:
- MPU6050 locks out after 15g. Consider higher range accelerometer.
- Consider the use of a flash chip rather than a micro SD card.

Questions
How big is the Liaka V3 PCB?
It measures 101.6 × 26.9 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Liaka V3 use?
81 parts, built around the CP2102N-A01-GQFN28R, ESP32-WROOM-32, L80-M39 and MS561101BA03-50. 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 Liaka V3 KiCad files?
From the LulaUAV/Laika-Flight-Computer repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is V3/Liaka_V3.kicad_pcb and its schematic V3/DataLogging.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Liaka V3 design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask LulaUAV before reusing the design.
