Why
I made AutoFly as a successor to a pevious autonomus quadcopter that was not able to fly due to low power budgeting. With bigger motors and a 4X larger battery it should fly perfectly. I have always liked autonomus drones for the simple fact that it focuses entirely on design and tuning compared to FPV drones where the pilot plays a cirtical role.

Questions
How big is the FC v1 PCB?
It measures 94.4 × 94.4 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the FC v1 use?
18 parts. 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 FC v1 KiCad files?
From the jacobjuneau6/AutoFly repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is FC-v1/FC-v1/FC-v1.kicad_pcb and its schematic FC-v1/FC-v1/FC-v1.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the FC v1 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).
