Questions
How big is the Beacon PCB?
It measures 38.4 × 28.2 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Beacon use?
12 parts, built around the 74LS14PC and LM555N. 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 Beacon KiCad files?
From the ondra6ak/rocket-telemetry repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is beacon/SCH/beacon.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Beacon design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask ondra6ak before reusing the design.
