Questions

How big is the Mars Rover PCB?

It measures 65 × 56 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Mars Rover use?

33 parts, built around the M2.5. 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 Mars Rover KiCad files?

From the aosho44/Mars-Rover repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Mars Rover/Mars Rover Ki-Cad/Mars Rover.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Mars Rover design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask aosho44 before reusing the design.
