Questions
How big is the FlightController PCB?
It measures 36 × 36 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the FlightController use?
63 parts, built around the MPU-6000 and TLV70233DBV. 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 FlightController KiCad files?
From the chickadee-tech/f3fc repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcb/FlightController.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the FlightController design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the CC-BY-4.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
