From the project

Falconia Beacon is an ATTINY816-based, CR2032-powered LED beacon board used to make the Falconia rover visible to the SMCS Pi-in-the-sky satellite.

Falconia Beacon is an ATTINY816-based, CR2032-powered LED beacon board used to make the Falconia rover visible to the SMCS Pi-in-the-sky satellite.

- Blinks onboard LEDs so the satellite can detect the rover location. - Uses a potentiometer to enable or disable the blinking program. - Supports I2C control at address 0x42.

- PCB/ Hardware design and manufacturing assets: - KiCad schematic and PCB files - 3D models and custom footprints/symbol libraries - Panelization and production outputs
