Questions
How big is the RCS Hardware PCB?
It measures 60 × 52 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the RCS Hardware use?
56 parts, built around the STM32F401CCU6, W25Q32JVSSIQ, AMS1117-3.3 and BNO055. 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 RCS Hardware KiCad files?
From the explosion33/sarprcs repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Flight_Computer/RCS_Hardware.kicad_pcb and its schematic Flight_Computer/RCS_Hardware.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the RCS Hardware design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask explosion33 before reusing the design.
