Questions
How big is the Drone PCB PCB?
It measures 85 × 50 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Drone PCB use?
73 parts, built around the RP2040 and ICM-20948. 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 Drone PCB KiCad files?
From the dezash123/drone repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcb/V1/Drone_PCB.kicad_pcb and its schematic pcb/Drone_PCB.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Drone PCB design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask dezash123 before reusing the design.
