Overview

Schematics is an open-source printed circuit board by joaom98, from the joaom98/pcb_quadcopter repository on GitHub, published under the Unlicense licence. It is a 2-layer board of 190 × 190 mm with 56 parts on 87 nets, routed with 169 tracks and 0 vias.

It is built around the MPU-6000, BAT54C and BC817. Its parts include 14 resistors, 13 capacitors, 7 diodes, 5 transistors and 3 ICs. It belongs with the STM32 boards of this library.

pcb_quadcopter

An open-source PCB multirotor project, development in progress. The intent is to make an affordable, simple and customizable quadcopter that can be built and used by anyone.

Inspiration

So, I have seen some interesting projects online and decided to try developing a variation. Here are some of the references that inspired me into making my own:

Specifications

Here are some of the specifications that I want to follow for this project. They are open to changes:

  • PCB Frame containing all of the electronics and components
  • STM32 microcontroller able to run BetaFlight
  • 7mm brushed motors
  • 2" Propellers
  • Micro RF SBUS receiver
  • 18650 Li-Ion batteries

Future implementations/extras

Theese are some features that are cool but aren't included in the base project (yet, hopefully):

  • FPV camera and VTX
  • SD card for camera footage
  • RPi 0 support
  • Ardupilot support

Questions

How big is the Schematics PCB?

It measures 190 × 190 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Schematics use?

56 parts, built around the MPU-6000, BAT54C and BC817. 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 Schematics KiCad files?

From the joaom98/pcb_quadcopter repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is schematics/main_board/main_board.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Schematics design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the Unlicense licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
