Questions
What parts does the Flight Controller use?
47 parts, built around the STM32F103C8T6, BMP280, MSD-4-A and AMS1117-3.3. 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 Flight Controller KiCad files?
From the SOrtonn/Rocketino repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Flight Controller/Flight Controller.kicad_pcb and its schematic Flight Controller/Flight Controller.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Flight Controller design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask SOrtonn before reusing the design.
