README
README.mdFORTE is a mid powered rocket with an estimated flight alitude of 137m initially, and a planned 1000m flight on a high powered motor later. It features a miniature onboard flight computer to verify data logging and live telemetry capabilties. The Flight computer has an inertial measurement unit and barometer to sense it's height and orientation. A LoRa Chip is placed onboard to stream data over 915 mHz to a ground station.
The PCB is mainly for telemetry and datalogging, running custom firmware to achieve this. To get the PCB, you can send the gerber files to your manufacturer of choice, and buy components from online services such as LCSC, digikey or mouser. The rocket kit is available from LOC Precision and costs about $90.
This Rocket is my next step in my rocketry journey, allowing me to explore telemetry onboard rockets, efficient datalogging and building up to something more complex such as active control.

Questions
How big is the FORTE FlightComputer PCB?
It measures 50 × 60 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the FORTE FlightComputer use?
67 parts, built around the MAX-M10S-00B, MS5611-01BA03, TPS54525PWPR and W25Q128JVFIQ. 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 FORTE FlightComputer KiCad files?
From the codinga593/Forte repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is FORTE_FlightComputer.kicad_pcb and its schematic 3.3Vsupply.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the FORTE FlightComputer design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask codinga593 before reusing the design.

Everything is generated from design.py — do not hand-edit the board and then regenerate, you will lose the edit. If you do route by hand in KiCad, stop using the pipeline for that board and say so in docs/DECISIONS.md.
