KiCad project of the cubesat radio test article in preparation for the Canadian Satellite Design Challenge

This repository uses the SFU Satellite Team's KiCad component library as a submodule. To start working on the repository:

text
1. Open the git shell
2. Navigate to the directory you wish to place the repository inside
3. git clone --recursive "https://github.com/SFUSatClub/CubeSat-Radio.git"
4. cd .\CubeSat-Radio\KiCad-Lib\
5. git checkout master

If you modify either the component schematic or footprint libraries you must push those changes to the SFUSatClub/KiCad-Lib repository.

Questions

How big is the SFUSat Radio PCB?

It measures 95.9 × 90.2 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the SFUSat Radio use?

281 parts, built around the LMV358, BMI-S-205-F, STLM75M2F and 2N7002DW. 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 SFUSat Radio KiCad files?

From the SFUSatClub/CubeSat-Radio repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is SFUSat-Radio.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the SFUSat Radio design in my own project?

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