About the Hub module

Hub module is an open source PCB design by tmolteno, published on GitHub under the GPL-3.0 license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 290 × 221 mm, with 64 components from 7 distinct parts.

Other key parts include the TE0714, ST485EBDR, conn2x18pcie and SN65LVDS33PW. By type, the board carries 38 ICs, 24 capacitors, 1 connector and 1 resistor.

It belongs with the rf & radio and science & space designs in this gallery.

From the project

The TART radio telescope, Version 3.

TART-3/hardware contains the physical design files.

TART-3/hardware/lna is the design for the seperate low noise front end required when using passive antennas.
