Questions

How big is the CanSat Upper PCB?

It measures 50 × 50 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the CanSat Upper use?

46 parts, built around the IST8310 and LP5912-3.3DRVT. 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 CanSat Upper KiCad files?

From the RaTaTaTaDa/CanSat_CommsBoard repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is CanSat_Upper/CanSat_Upper.kicad_pcb and its schematic CanSat_Upper/CanSat_Upper.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the CanSat Upper design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask RaTaTaTaDa before reusing the design.
