SRAD_Avionics

Code and PCBs for the avionics subteam for the SRAD flight computer and side projects.

The avionics subteam manages this repo, as well as the Multi-Mission-Flight-Software and Ground Station repositories. Look at the Issues tab for tasks that need to be done, and the Projects tab for the current status of the Avionics subteam as a whole.

Most of our development for our competition rocket systems will be within the /Spaceport/ directory. Here, the parts are broken up by whether they are hardware, PCBs, or code.

If writing software for the main embedded system, open the Teensy-Based-Avionics folder using Platformio in VSCode, and make your edits there. For hardware, the files for a single board come in sets of 3, with the extensions .kicad_pro, .kicad_pcb, and .kicad_sch. Editing these files affects the PCB's layup.
