Questions
How big is the PCBCOPTER PCB?
It measures 97.6 × 31.5 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the PCBCOPTER use?
29 parts, built around the AO3400A, B5819WS and MPU-6050. 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 PCBCOPTER KiCad files?
From the armando013005/miniCopter repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/PCBCOPTER.kicad_pcb and its schematic hardware/PCBCOPTER.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the PCBCOPTER design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask armando013005 before reusing the design.
