About the Breakbeam (Emitter) PCB
Breakbeam (Emitter) is an open source PCB design by SSL-A-Team, published on GitHub under the MIT license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 22 × 52 mm, with 7 components from 7 distinct parts.
By type, the board carries 3 resistors, 1 transistor, 1 connector and 1 diode.
From the project
circuit board design files, gerbers, and circuit analysis
All current board releases use KiCad 7.X.
See releases for competition production files. Our releases include known bug documentation, and the confirmed gerber, BoM, and CPL files sent to fab so you know you're looking and ordering what we did. Releases are accompanied by a tagged commit, for all editable project files used to generate the fab products.
For complex boards like control and kicker, we include spice models and python files that compute any relevant values from datasheets, and including documented references and links to needed formulations.
