Questions

How big is the Drone PCB?

It measures 97.2 × 97.3 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Drone use?

43 parts. 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 Drone KiCad files?

From the VANT-System/DroneORT repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Hardware/Drone-DrORT-onlyBluetooth/Drone.kicad_pcb and its schematic Hardware/Drone-DrORT-onlyBluetooth/Drone.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Drone design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the GPL-3.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
