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-Panel.git"
4. cd CubeSat-Panel/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 Cubesat panel PCB?

It measures 80 × 294 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Cubesat panel use?

68 parts, built around the OPA380. 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 Cubesat panel KiCad files?

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

Can I use the Cubesat panel design in my own project?

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