README.mdZ Face Panel
KiCad project for the outside panel attached to the z faces of the cubesat. The panel contains a SMT GPS antenna and 4 sun sensors. The interface is a MCX jack for the GPS and a 14 pin ribbon cable for the sun sensor power and IO.
This repository uses the SFU Satellite Team's KiCad component library as a submodule. To start working on the repository:
1. Open a git shell
2. Navigate to the directory you wish to place the repository inside
3. git clone --recursive "https://github.com/SFUSatClub/z-panel.git"If you modify either the component schematic or footprint libraries you must push those changes to the SFUSatClub/KiCad-Lib repository, then commit the project repository.

Questions
How big is the Z panel PCB?
It measures 80 × 80 mm and has 2 copper layers, 0.8 mm thick.
What parts does the Z panel use?
43 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 Z panel KiCad files?
From the SFUSatClub/z-panel repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is z-panel.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Z panel design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask SFUSatClub before reusing the design.
