Questions
How big is the Ride along module PCB?
It measures 50.3 × 37.8 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Ride along module use?
53 parts, built around the LSM6DSL, USBLC6-2SC6 and VS5V0UA1LAMTR. 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 Ride along module KiCad files?
From the Rowan-Rocketry/SRAD-Avionics repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Ride-Along-Module/pcb/ride-along-module.kicad_pcb and its schematic Buck-Converter/pcb/12v-to-5v-Buck-Converter.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Ride along module design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask Rowan-Rocketry before reusing the design.
