Questions

How big is the Flight Computer PCB?

It measures 27.5 × 83.3 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Flight Computer use?

92 parts, built around the VXO7803-1000, W25Q16JVSSIQ, BMP280 and ADXL345-EP. 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 Flight Computer KiCad files?

From the University-at-Buffalo-SEDS/Flight-Computer-PCB repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Flight Computer.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Flight Computer design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask University-at-Buffalo-SEDS before reusing the design.
