Asgard ADC

Description

An air data computer (ADC) is an essential avionics component found in modern aircraft. This unit can determine True Airspeed, Mach number, Altitude, and common air properties from a pitot-static probe data and an outside air temperature probe.

This repository, together with the media published on the BasicAirData website, contains the information to build from scratch a recreational grade DIY Air Data Computer. This device can transmit data via USB serial port and Bluetooth, and log all data on a MicroSD.

The project is a work in progress

This Air Data Computer can be controlled sending plain text messages from any serial / bluetooth terminal.
We are developing Air Data Bridge, a simple app for Android devices to connect via Bluetooth and use this ADC on-the-field in an easy way.

Questions

How big is the Asgard PCB?

It measures 17.8 × 61 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Asgard use?

10 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 Asgard KiCad files?

From the BasicAirData/AirDataComputer repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Hardware/kicad/Asgard/Asgard.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Asgard design in my own project?

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