Questions
How big is the Drone PCB?
It measures 29.8 × 56.2 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Drone use?
22 parts, built around the 1N4148W-7-F-CN and SI2300. 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 Drone KiCad files?
From the bottlecoder-raj/FPV-DRONE repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Drone - Copy/Drone - Copy/Drone.kicad_pcb and its schematic Drone - Copy/Drone - Copy/Drone.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Drone design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask bottlecoder-raj before reusing the design.
