This directory contains the current KiCad project structure and board-planning notes:
- forest-rover.kicadsch includes a structured top-level block floorplan with named functional regions and capture notes - forest-rover.kicadpcb includes a 4-layer stackup declaration, named nets, and a board-floorplan overlay - sym-lib-table still points to built-in KiCad symbol libraries where possible

Forest surveillance rover: common questions
What microcontroller does the Forest surveillance rover use?
The Forest surveillance rover is built around the STM32F407VGT6, from the STM32 family.
How big is the Forest surveillance rover PCB?
The Forest surveillance rover measures 100 × 80 mm, has 4 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the Forest surveillance rover?
1 components, from 1 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 Forest surveillance rover design files?
From the lakshya-asu/forest_surveillance_rover 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 Forest surveillance rover design in my own project?
Yes, under the terms of its MIT license, which lakshya-asu chose for the repository.
Can I test firmware for the Forest surveillance rover without the hardware?
Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug STM32 firmware against it before you order a PCB.
