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 Notus PCB?
It measures 57 × 63 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Notus use?
52 parts, built around the RP2040, TCAN3414D, LMR36501P3RPER and W25Q16JVUXIQ. 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 Notus KiCad files?
From the formicidae-tracker/hardware repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is ecad/climate/notus/notus.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Notus design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask formicidae-tracker before reusing the design.
