About the Testboard PCB

Testboard is an open source PCB design by AntonSievering, published on GitHub. It is a 4-layer board measuring 100 × 69.2 mm, with 19 components from 2 distinct parts.

By type, the board carries 10 connectors and 9 resistors.

From the project

Sounding Rocket Tracking and Positioning Project

The rocket carries a transmitter that continuously downlinks telemetry along with timing signals. Multiple ground receivers (3–4 planned) receive the signal and extract the timing information. With the timing data, the system computes the rocket’s position in real time.

This repository contains the PCB projects for TRACKER - GPSDO-V2: 10 MHz oscillator tuned by the GPS timing signals - basestation-rx: S-band timing signal receiver - tracker-tx-fpga: FPGA baseboard with three subcarrier slots - tracker-subcarrier-adc: ADC subcarrier for FPGA baseboard - tracker-subcarrier-dac: DAC subcarrier…

Testboard: common questions

How big is the Testboard PCB?

The Testboard measures 100 × 69.2 mm, has 4 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Testboard?

19 components, from 2 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 Testboard design files?

From the AntonSievering/TRACKER 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 Testboard design in my own project?

The repository has no license, so all rights stay with AntonSievering. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
