Questions
How big is the Drone swarm PCB?
It measures 98.3 × 98.3 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Drone swarm use?
83 parts, built around the ESP32-WROOM-32, BMP280, SX1308 and BMI160. 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 Drone swarm KiCad files?
From the ManhTi3012/MiniDrone repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB/drone_swarm.kicad_pcb and its schematic PCB/drone_swarm.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Drone swarm design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
