All things for the OreSat flatsat

A "flatsat" is a integration and debugging configuration of your satellite that allows you to more easily do system integration, software development, testing, and debugging. It's the "open" satellite that allows you to get at all the signals and ports.

Here's what our OreSat0 flatsat looks like -- note the cards laid out flat on the table, the power supply on the left, the ribbon cable and cards, and the small PC on the upper right (vertical wall) that interfaces everything to the interwebs.

Backplane debug: common questions

How big is the Backplane debug PCB?

The Backplane debug measures 34.8 × 12.1 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Backplane debug?

3 components, from 3 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 Backplane debug design files?

From the oresat/oresat-flatsat 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 Backplane debug design in my own project?

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