About the Neodrone v1-noreturn PCB

Neodrone v1-noreturn is an open source Microchip SAM PCB design by dulatello08, published on GitHub. It is a 4-layer board measuring 100 × 89 mm, with 75 components from 26 distinct parts.

Its main chip is the ATSAMD21G18A-A, from the Microchip SAM family. Other key parts include the MCF8316A, MCP1826S, TPS62162DSG and ICM-20602. By type, the board carries 45 capacitors, 10 resistors, 8 ICs, 5 inductors, 3 connectors and 3 diodes.

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

From the project

PCB Quadracopter - WIP

NeoDrone v1 is a compact all-in-one flight controller + 4-in-1 ESC board for small custom drones.

I wanted a cleaner drone stack with fewer separate boards, less wiring, and tighter integration between control and motor drive. This project is also a learning build to improve my PCB, embedded, and drone-systems workflow end to end.

Neodrone v1-noreturn: common questions

What microcontroller does the Neodrone v1-noreturn use?

The Neodrone v1-noreturn is built around the ATSAMD21G18A-A, from the Microchip SAM family.

How big is the Neodrone v1-noreturn PCB?

The Neodrone v1-noreturn measures 100 × 89 mm, has 4 copper layers and is 2 mm thick.

How many components are on the Neodrone v1-noreturn?

75 components, from 26 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 Neodrone v1-noreturn design files?

From the dulatello08/neodrone repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Neodrone v1-noreturn design in my own project?

The repository has no license, so all rights stay with dulatello08. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.

Can I test firmware for the Neodrone v1-noreturn without the hardware?

Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug Microchip SAM firmware against it before you order a PCB.
