Questions
How big is the FAST Controller PCB?
It measures 125 × 50.8 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the FAST Controller use?
68 parts, built around the ADM706ARZ and PMEG4050EP. 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 FAST Controller KiCad files?
From the carlsuttle/FAST-Avionics-PCBs repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is FAST/FAST Controller.kicad_pcb and its schematic AS_GPS_XIAO_OUTBOARD/AS_GPS_XIAO_OUTBOARD.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the FAST Controller design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask carlsuttle before reusing the design.
