Questions

How big is the Flight Computer PCB?

It measures 82 × 38 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Flight Computer use?

65 parts, built around the TEENSY 4.1, MS5611-01BA03, ADXL375BCCZ and ICM-42670-P. 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 Computer KiCad files?

From the Tim-Drake0/Flight-Computer repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is v0.5.kicad_pcb and its schematic v0.5.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Flight Computer design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask Tim-Drake0 before reusing the design.
