Questions
How big is the FlightController PCB?
It measures 46 × 42.7 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the FlightController use?
79 parts, built around the BMP580, TPS63070RNMR, TF-01A and ICM-45686. 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 FlightController KiCad files?
From the Acidicts/FlightController repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is kicad/FlightController.kicad_pcb and its schematic kicad/FlightController.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the FlightController design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask Acidicts before reusing the design.
