Questions

How big is the AutoPilot PCB?

It measures 100 × 100.1 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the AutoPilot use?

50 parts, built around the 1N4148W. 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 AutoPilot KiCad files?

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

Can I use the AutoPilot design in my own project?

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