PQ1 TopBoard
About the PQ1 TopBoard PCB
PQ1 TopBoard is an open source PCB design by nanosatlab, published on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board measuring 50 × 50 mm, with 15 components from 10 distinct parts.
Other key parts include the TCN75AVUA713. By type, the board carries 1 IC, 1 connector, 1 diode and 1 capacitor.
It belongs with the rf & radio, power & battery and sensors designs in this gallery.
From the project
IEEE PocketQubes
Hardware repository for the IEEE GRSS PocketQube built at the NanoSat Lab (UPC).
It holds the complete electrical and mechanical design of the satellite: KiCad projects for every PCB in the stack, the SolidWorks/STEP assembly of the full spacecraft, the deployment mechanisms, and the ground/mechanical support equipment used to integrate and test it.
This repository contains design data only — there is nothing to build or run. Flight and ground software live elsewhere, as does the PL3 payload hardware (nanosatlab/pocat-rfi-5g).
