README
README.mdStarPointer - Electronic Finderscope
StarPointer is a virtual electronic finderscope for astronomical telescopes. This device works with Stellarium and helps the observer identify objects in the sky.
This sensor kit builds around the STM32F103C8 microcontroller, ADXL345 3-axis accelerometer, and HMC5883L 3-axis magnetometer. It communicates with the PC using the inbuilt USB peripheral of the STM32F103C8 microcontroller.
StarPointer is an open-source project. This repository has all the schematics, PCB design files, firmware source codes, and application source codes.
The complete documentation of this project is in the wiki section of this repository. The PCB Gerber files and compiled binaries are also available in the release section of this repository. The PCB of the StarPointer can also order from the PCBWay website.

Questions
How big is the Star pointer PCB?
It measures 82.1 × 22.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Star pointer use?
39 parts, built around the STM32F103C8T6, RT9193-33GB, USBLC6-2SC6 and XM7D-0512. 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 Star pointer KiCad files?
From the dilshan/star-pointer repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is design/starpointer/starpointer.kicad_pcb and its schematic design/starpointer/starpointer.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Star pointer design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
