Questions

How big is the RF Board PCB?

It measures 90 × 90 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.61 mm thick.

What parts does the RF Board use?

130 parts, built around the MSP430FR2355TPT, CC2500RGP, DEA202450BT-1213C1 and SKY65900-11. 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 RF Board KiCad files?

From the jbrown3859/EE175-SeniorDesign repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/RF_Board/RF_Board.kicad_pcb and its schematic hardware/FlightComputer/FlightComputer.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the RF Board design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask jbrown3859 before reusing the design.
