Overview
Nrf52840 qiaa config1 is an open-source printed circuit board by anivelle, from the anivelle/drone-controller repository on GitHub. It is a 4-layer board of 22.5 × 19.5 mm with 26 parts on 66 nets, routed with 275 tracks and 117 vias.
It is built around the NRF52840-QIAA-R. Its parts include 20 capacitors, 2 crystals, 1 resistor, 1 IC and 1 inductor. It belongs with the robots and motor control boards and the nRF52 and nRF5x boards of this library.

README.mdPID Drone Controller
This is my repository for the drone controller I am building using the Arduino Nano 33 BLE. This is an exercise for me in working directly with the Arduino's hardware peripherals, as well as learning about PID (I have never taken a feedback control course).
I'll be using some sort of time of flight (TOF) sensor to give the drone the ability to hover at a certain height, along with a 9-axis IMU (currently the BNO055 because I have it) to keep the drone stabilized in the air. That is all that is currently planned, but if I enjoy this enough I might try autonomous movement.

Questions
How big is the Nrf52840 qiaa config1 PCB?
It measures 22.5 × 19.5 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Nrf52840 qiaa config1 use?
26 parts, built around the NRF52840-QIAA-R. 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 Nrf52840 qiaa config1 KiCad files?
From the anivelle/drone-controller repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB/drone_fc/nrf52840_files/Altium Designer files/nrf52840_qiaa_config1.kicad_pcb and its schematic PCB/drone_fc/drone_fc.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Nrf52840 qiaa config1 design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask anivelle before reusing the design.
