Questions

How big is the Onboard PCB?

It measures 90.1 × 95.3 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Onboard use?

16 parts, built around the DS18B20, MPU-6050, RFM95W-915S2 and TPS27081ADDCR-TP. 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 Onboard KiCad files?

From the prasannan-robots/On-Board-Computer repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is onboard/onboard.kicad_pcb and its schematic onboard/onboard.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Onboard design in my own project?

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