Taco Compass

Using a Raspberry Pi, a custom connector Pi hat, a USB GPS and a 9-dof IMU, and scraped google places API data, I have made a plush taco that acts as a compass pointing at the nearest taco restaurant.

Questions

How big is the Taco board PCB?

It measures 35.8 × 38.9 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Taco board use?

7 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 Taco board KiCad files?

From the alextechcc/taco_compass repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is taco_board/taco_board.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Taco board design in my own project?

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