Questions
How big is the Custom drone PCB?
It measures 42 × 31.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Custom drone use?
34 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 Custom drone KiCad files?
From the V-yeet/PCB-design repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is custom drone.kicad_pcb and its schematic custom drone.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Custom drone design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask V-yeet before reusing the design.
