Its parts include 18 resistors, 6 capacitors, 4 connectors and 3 fuses.
README
README.mdWaterloo Rocketry Data Acquisition System
Work in progress repo for the next iteration of the WR DAQ. This revision focuses on modularity and extensibility, with the ability to easily add more sensors as required. Schematics of the last revision are in old/. The new system supports the following:
- Strain gauges
- 12V pressure transducers
- thermistors/RTDs based on need
- SD card logging using an Arduino
- Logging to an NI DAQ instrumentation module
The system is broken up into boards based on sensor type, with each board managing its own power requirements without the need for a central power board. Sensors can be added by populating more boards (and designing new ones to be added on if necessary). docs/ will be populated as the project progresses.

Questions
How big is the DAQ Patch Panel PCB?
It measures 32 × 114.4 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the DAQ Patch Panel use?
45 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 DAQ Patch Panel KiCad files?
From the waterloo-rocketry/daq repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is design/DAQ Patch Panel/DAQ_Patch_Panel.kicad_pcb and its schematic design/DAQ Patch Panel/DAQ_Patch_Panel.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the DAQ Patch Panel design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask waterloo-rocketry before reusing the design.
