Questions

How big is the Flatsat base PCB?

It measures 228.6 × 134.6 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Flatsat base use?

30 parts, built around the FFC2B28-10-G and FFC2B28-24-G. 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 Flatsat base KiCad files?

From the PyCubed-Mini/flatsat repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is flatsat-base.kicad_pcb and its schematic flatsat-base.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Flatsat base design in my own project?

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