DronPi: common questions
What microcontroller does the DronPi use?
The DronPi is built around the RPi_GPIO, from the Raspberry Pi family.
How big is the DronPi PCB?
The DronPi measures 71.8 × 50.9 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the DronPi?
135 components, from 64 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 DronPi design files?
From the radioelf/DronPi repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the DronPi design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with radioelf. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
Can I test firmware for the DronPi 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.
