Questions
How big is the Drone PCB PCB?
It measures 50 × 50 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Drone PCB use?
63 parts, built around the BMP280, MPU-6000 and BC817W. 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 eshazen/StudentProjects2025 repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is JustinYu_Drone/Drone_PCB.kicad_pcb and its schematic BE511/Labs/Megan_Bell_Arduino_Shield_v2/arduino_shield/arduino_shield.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 eshazen before reusing the design.
