Questions

How big is the Hydra PCB?

It measures 69.5 × 60 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Hydra use?

151 parts, built around the STM32F103CBT6, TCAN1051HGVDRQ1, DMP4065S-7 and AMS1117-3.3. 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 Hydra KiCad files?

From the Queens-Rocket-Engineering-Team/av-hardware repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is prop/LCMHydra/hydra.kicad_pcb and its schematic libraries/prop/PT_module.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Hydra design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask Queens-Rocket-Engineering-Team before reusing the design.
