Questions
How big is the Rocket2-load cell PCB?
It measures 69 × 67 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Rocket2-load cell use?
40 parts, built around the 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 Rocket2-load cell KiCad files?
From the UCI-Rocket-Project/rocket2-load-cell repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is rocket2-load-cell.kicad_pcb and its schematic rocket2-load-cell.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Rocket2-load cell design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask UCI-Rocket-Project before reusing the design.
