Overview
Camera controller is an open-source printed circuit board by someonelse20, from the someonelse20/Shadowfax repository on GitHub. It is a 4-layer board of 40 × 40 mm with 69 parts on 79 nets, routed with 502 tracks and 294 vias.
It is built around the ERTJ0ER104FM. Its parts include 31 capacitors, 11 resistors, 6 inductors, 5 connectors and 4 diodes. It belongs with the STM32 boards of this library.
Main components
1README
README.mdShadowfax
FPV Drone designed from scrach. This design isn't fully custom yet but will get there eventually. I started this project to make a cool drone and learn as much as I can about engineering.
Flight Controller
The meat and potatios, the main computer for the drone.
Transceiver
A low frequency radio to communicate with a remote controller.
Camera Controller
Controls the camera and captures videos and pictures with a high frequency radio for faster communication.
Power Board
Powers the whole stack with 3.3v and connects the ESCs to the input voltage.
Frame
I made a custom frame to fit my custom boards and here it is.

Questions
How big is the Camera controller PCB?
It measures 40 × 40 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Camera controller use?
69 parts, built around the ERTJ0ER104FM. 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 Camera controller KiCad files?
From the someonelse20/Shadowfax repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is camera-controller/hardware/camera-controller.kicad_pcb and its schematic ESC/hardware/ESC.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Camera controller design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask someonelse20 before reusing the design.
