README
README.mdFORmicidae Tracker (FORT) : Hardware Blueprints and Firmware
The FORmicidae Tracker (FORT) is an advanced online tracking system designed specifically for studying social insects, particularly ants and bees, FORT utilizes fiducial markers for extended individual tracking. Its key features include real-time online tracking and a modular design architecture that supports distributed processing. The project's current repositories encompass comprehensive hardware blueprints, technical documentation, and associated firmware and software for online tracking and offline data analysis.
This repository holds electronic blueprints and firmware source code of the formicidae-tracker project.

Questions
How big is the Master old PCB?
It measures 100 × 100 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Master old use?
663 parts, built around the ATMEGA16M1-AU, MCP2561-E/SN, LM2842YQMK and UA9638CD. 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 Master old KiCad files?
From the formicidae-tracker/hardware repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is ecad/helios/Master/master-old.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Master old design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask formicidae-tracker before reusing the design.
