Solder Rocket - How to solder kit.

In the great tradition of hackerspaces everwhere, CCHS runs frequent, simple, "how to solder" courses for kids of all ages.

Our previous kit was designed by Luke Weston and had a very similar schematic. This one has been updated for parts availability and in order to have a more "fun" board.

The "Rocket" outline was designed in Sketchup and exported as a dxf to be inputed in to KiCAD.

The "Solder Rocket" text was generated using simple text tools and imported using bitmap2component.

This updated design uses a metal battery holder. This part does become hot during soldering but should cool quickly.

Questions

How big is the Badge kit PCB?

It measures 38 × 48.9 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Badge kit use?

7 parts, built around the CR2032. 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 Badge kit KiCad files?

From the mage0r/Solder-Kits repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Solder Rocket/badge-kit.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Badge kit design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask mage0r before reusing the design.
