Questions

What parts does the Valve controller use?

42 parts, built around the STM32F405RGT6, MAX14787EGSA+, MAX604CPA+ and BSS138. 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 Valve controller KiCad files?

From the cuspaceflight/royale repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is schematics/01-valve-controller/valve-controller.kicad_pcb and its schematic schematics/01-valve-controller/fire_ctrl.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Valve controller design in my own project?

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