About the ADCS subsystem PCB
ADCS subsystem is an open source RP2040/RP2350 PCB design by abelwu2001, published on GitHub. It is a 6-layer board measuring 40 × 40 mm, with 57 components from 34 distinct parts.
Its main chip is the CES-102-02-L-S, from the RP2040/RP2350 family. Other key parts include the SPV1040TTR, IIM-42652, DRV8214RTER, TMUX1108RSVR and MMC5983MA. By type, the board carries 20 capacitors, 15 resistors, 12 connectors and 9 ICs.
It belongs with the power & battery designs in this gallery.
From the project
Proyecto Final para el armado de un nanoSat
Este documento resume las placas, elementos estructurales, componentes externos, cableado y tornillería necesarios para el armado de la plataforma PocketQube.
Link de la wiki donde se explica todo sobre el proyecto:
- 4 integrados en las pqlatboard - 1 integrado en la pqbotboard - 1 en la PQMagYBoard`
Los magnetorquers integrados en las placas se forman mediante pistas/bobinas de cobre del propio PCB, por lo que no se compran como componentes independientes.

ADCS subsystem: common questions
What microcontroller does the ADCS subsystem use?
The ADCS subsystem is built around the CES-102-02-L-S, from the RP2040/RP2350 family.
How big is the ADCS subsystem PCB?
The ADCS subsystem measures 40 × 40 mm, has 6 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the ADCS subsystem?
57 components, from 34 distinct parts, with part numbers taken from the project's own BOM. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the ADCS subsystem design files?
From the abelwu2001/Picosat-Pocketcube-UTN-FRC-2026 repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout, the schematic and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the ADCS subsystem design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with abelwu2001. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
Can I test firmware for the ADCS subsystem without the hardware?
Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug RP2040/RP2350 firmware against it before you order a PCB.
