Panel
About the Panel PCB
Panel is an open source PCB design by PHS-SMCS, published on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board measuring 155 × 71 mm, with 60 components from 17 distinct parts.
Other key parts include the CH340N and TP4057. By type, the board carries 17 resistors, 10 diodes, 10 capacitors, 5 ICs, 1 connector and 1 battery holder.
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
