From the project
KiCad project for the PCB in the payload of SOAR's IREC Rocket
This is the PCB for the payload of USF Society of Aeronautics and Rocketry's 2019 IREC rocket. The PCB is made in KiCad (pronounced key-cad). The different two parts of the payload are split into the folders payloadgroundpcb, the ground station, and payloadmainpcb, the cubesat payload, under those there are the files are:
avionics-\.pro - This is the base project which you should open in KiCad. avionics-\.sch - This is the sketch of the PCB and shows which components should be connected where. avionics-\.kicadpcb - This is the actual PCB that has the components laid out and connected with…
