Questions
How big is the Telemetry pcb PCB?
It measures 100 × 70 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Telemetry pcb use?
62 parts, built around the MAX3232CPWRE4, IF-D92 and MAX31855KASA+. 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 Telemetry pcb KiCad files?
From the supermileage/telemetry-pcb repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is telemetry-pcb.kicad_pcb and its schematic serial.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Telemetry pcb design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask supermileage before reusing the design.
