Hello, this is my first Project for Stasis.

I followed the tutorial for the Pathfinder while adding a knob/rotary encoder and using that for most of my uniqueness.

More images and progress can be found in my journals.

My Pathfinder has a button that puts power to the LED, and a knob that gives a value in the Serial monitor that can also reset back to zero.

Questions

How big is the Pathfinder PCB?

It measures 76 × 48.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Pathfinder use?

5 parts. 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 Pathfinder KiCad files?

From the Vaaxs/stasis-pathfinder repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pathfinder.kicad_pcb and its schematic pathfinder.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Pathfinder design in my own project?

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