433MHz Ground Station Board: common questions
What microcontroller does the 433MHz Ground Station Board use?
The 433MHz Ground Station Board is built around the Raspberry_Pi_4B, from the Raspberry Pi family.
How big is the 433MHz Ground Station Board?
The 433MHz Ground Station Board measures 95.5 × 56 mm, has 4 copper layers and is 1.6062 mm thick.
How many components are on the 433MHz Ground Station Board?
14 components, from 10 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 433MHz Ground Station Board design files?
From the pete4radio/SAMWISE-1-2-HW-Training 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 433MHz Ground Station Board design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with pete4radio. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
Can I test firmware for the 433MHz Ground Station Board without the hardware?
Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug Raspberry Pi firmware against it before you order a PCB.
