About the Avionics-Telemetry PCB

Avionics-Telemetry is an open source STM32 PCB design by MSTRocketDesignTeam, published on GitHub under the GPL-3.0 license. It is a 4-layer board measuring 80 × 93.6 mm, with 87 components from 48 distinct parts.

Its main chip is the STM32L562ZET6, from the STM32 family. Other key parts include the Si4463, ADL5521, RSD-897.500-942.500-1612-TR, LP38692MPX-ADJ and USBLC6-2SC6. By type, the board carries 37 capacitors, 13 resistors, 12 inductors, 7 ICs, 7 diodes and 6 connectors.

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

From the project

Rocket Telemetry PCB

This repository contains the PCB files for the main Rocket Telemetry project.

The primary impetus for this project is to develop a student-designed solution to keep the team from losing rockets. This means that these boards must contain and interface with the electronics required to track and analyze a rocket mid-flight and indicate the rocket landing site location to the team back at the launch site to aid in recovery efforts.

Avionics-Telemetry: common questions

What microcontroller does the Avionics-Telemetry use?

The Avionics-Telemetry is built around the STM32L562ZET6, from the STM32 family.

How big is the Avionics-Telemetry PCB?

The Avionics-Telemetry measures 80 × 93.6 mm, has 4 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Avionics-Telemetry?

87 components, from 48 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the Avionics-Telemetry design files?

From the MSTRocketDesignTeam/Avionics-Telemetry-PCB repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Avionics-Telemetry design in my own project?

Yes, under the terms of its GPL-3.0 license, which MSTRocketDesignTeam chose for the repository.

Can I test firmware for the Avionics-Telemetry 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.
