About the Nose board

Nose board is an open source PCB design by AndreiVladescu, published on GitHub under the CERN-OHL-S-2.0 license. It is a 4-layer board measuring 60.3 × 28.8 mm, with 33 components from 18 distinct parts.

Other key parts include the MMC5983MA, PCA9306DCUR, TLV75518PDBVR and VL53L8CXV0GC/1. By type, the board carries 14 resistors, 10 capacitors, 4 ICs, 2 transistors, 2 connectors and 1 diode.

It belongs with the robotics & motion, rf & radio and power & battery designs in this gallery.

From the project

One KiCad project per board: side-board/, power-board/, carrier-cm5/. The lib tables in each point to the shared library in lib/, so custom symbols and footprints go there.

- Connector pinouts come from docs/interfaces.md. Use the same footprint and pin order on both ends of a cable. - Side board: draw the leg cell as one hierarchical sheet, use it three times, and copy the layout with KiCad's multichannel tools. - Tag each fabbed revision (side-board-revA) and put the revision and git hash on the silkscreen. Gerbers, BOM and pick-and-place go in /production//. - Hand assembly: 0402 minimum…
