Questions
How big is the ORCA CORE PCB?
It measures 218 × 98.8 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the ORCA CORE use?
201 parts, built around the AM2837, FT230XS-R, TLP293(E and BNO055. 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 ORCA CORE KiCad files?
From the UEC-RMF-Rescue/ORCA_board repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is ORCA_CORE/ORCA_CORE.kicad_pcb and its schematic ORCA_CORE/ORCA_CORE.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the ORCA CORE design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask UEC-RMF-Rescue before reusing the design.
