Questions

How big is the VORTAC PCB?

It measures 46.8 × 52.4 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the VORTAC use?

146 parts, built around the SN65HVD232DR-JSM, TPS54335ADRCR, ADXL345BCCZ-RL and TLV73333PDBV. 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 VORTAC KiCad files?

From the FoCTow/ToolchangerDevelopment repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB/VORTAC/KiCAD/VORTAC/VORTAC.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the VORTAC design in my own project?

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