Questions

How big is the RocketBeaconModule PCB?

It measures 57.2 × 57.2 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the RocketBeaconModule use?

96 parts, built around the STM32F401CCU6, CC1200RHB, MCP41010-E/P and PT100. 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 RocketBeaconModule KiCad files?

From the explosion33/ArmLabRadio_PCB repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is rocketBeaconModule.kicad_pcb and its schematic CC1200.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the RocketBeaconModule design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask explosion33 before reusing the design.
