README
README.mdExpressLRS SX1280-based Rx/Tx module
This module is a first shot at creating a suitable platform for a 2.4GHz port of the ExpressLRS radio link system for model aircraft. It is based on the 20x20 M2 flight stack form factor and it uses the Chengdu EByte E28 modules, which are available in +12dBm, +20dBm and +27dBm output power. All these modules should work
This PCB can be used in the JR bay as the TX module, and on the quadcopter (or other RC aircraft) as RX module. Check the ExpressLRS project for more details.
The board has not been tested yet. Beware.
Design was done in KiCAD 5.1 Production files, PDF and artist impressions are available in the production_data/ directory

Questions
How big is the SX1280 module PCB?
It measures 24 × 24 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the SX1280 module use?
50 parts, built around the STM32L412KBT6, MBR0520L-TP and ASE-8.000MHZ-LC-T. 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 SX1280 module KiCad files?
From the dabit20/ExpressLRS-SX1280-module repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is SX1280_module.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the SX1280 module design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask dabit20 before reusing the design.
