Questions
How big is the ARES FC PCB?
It measures 57.2 × 57.2 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the ARES FC use?
67 parts, built around the STM32F401CCU6, BMP280, W25Q32JVSSIQ and AMS1117-3.3. 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 ARES FC KiCad files?
From the explosion33/ARES repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Hardware/Flight_Computer/ARES_FC.kicad_pcb and its schematic Hardware/Flight_Computer/ARES_FC.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the ARES FC 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).
