KiCAD files for latest hardware version? #151

Thanks so much for your work on the CubeSatSim! It appears to be a really great project and has such wonderful documentation.

I'm an artist (and also a ham, KC1EKK), and am using CubeSatSim in a current project of mine, albeit modified. I'd like to be able to rework the PCBs a bit for my own hardware needs. I see that earlier versions of the hardware had KiCAD files available, but the latest ones only have PDF schematics. Would it be possible to release the KiCAD files again? This would save a lot of time, rather than having to recreate the board layout from scratch from the PDF schematics. I would of course share my changes as required by the CC license.

Thanks!

Hi! We used KiCAD initially but now we use Eagle CAD v7.5 (free version). I would like to share the .brd and .sch files but I first need to clean up the libraries. It is on my todo list but I may not get to it this summer. I’ll leave this open until I post them.

Okay, great, thanks for the update!

@alanbjohnston hi, I'm from Switzerland and have no license and the used CBband is here not allowed here. So I would like to modify the payload board with a newer microcontroller and a LoRa chip. For that I would appreciate getting the eagle schematics and the layout of the boards. for sure there will be a feedback if the changed board was funcional thanks!

It’s still on my todo list - I’ll let you know when I have an update.
