Questions

How big is the Drone V3 PCB?

It measures 55 × 42 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Drone V3 use?

89 parts, built around the IRS21867S, HYG025N06LS1C2, 1N5819WS and SMF30A. 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 Drone V3 KiCad files?

From the Ryan-Fagan/QuadcopterPCB repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Drone V3.kicad_pcb and its schematic Drone V3.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Drone V3 design in my own project?

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