Demo boards for the electrical tutorials
(50mm x 50mm) This shows it's possible to design a 2-layer 50mm x 50mm board to fit the minimum rocket tube diameter of 50mm. Made by Grayson. This is the one we have ordered and will be avalible to pass around.
~~(66mm x 66mm) This 2-layer example board is slightly bigger but small enough to fit in an L2 rocket. Made by Kaden.~~ Unfortunatly this board has some issues at the moment, we might look into fixing it. Left for now as it shows a different general approach.
