Overview

Payload pcb is an open-source printed circuit board by nleve, from the nleve/bacon repository on GitHub, published under the MIT licence. It is a 2-layer board of 83.8 × 73.7 mm with 43 parts on 50 nets, routed with 232 tracks and 13 vias.

It is built around the ATMEGA328-PU and MC33063AD. Its parts include 10 capacitors, 8 resistors, 6 connectors, 4 diodes and 3 ICs. It belongs with the AVR (ATmega, ATtiny) boards of this library.

bacon - Balloon Ascent Controller

The goal of this project is to control the rate of ascent of two high-altitude balloons, to keep at the same relative altitude as they ascend.

A simulator is included in simulator/. Run tongs.py to start, then open client.html in a browser. Power up the two payloads to begin auto-discovery. Once that is finished, the simulated flight begins and shows a live plot of progress.

Questions

How big is the Payload pcb PCB?

It measures 83.8 × 73.7 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Payload pcb use?

43 parts, built around the ATMEGA328-PU and MC33063AD. 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 Payload pcb KiCad files?

From the nleve/bacon repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcb/payload_pcb.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Payload pcb 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).
