KiCad Design Files and .GBRs
01/05/2020 at 21:57 • 0 commentsI have uploaded an archive of the KiCad Design files and .GBRs for this project. Please note that at the current state, the hardware has only been designed, but not built or tested. Because of this, I can not guarantee that hardware will work 100% as intended. But feel free to use these files to make your own boards/build upon them!
Because I have not built or tested this project yet, project specific software does not yet exist. Feel free to make your own though!
If anyone ends up building this, feel free to let me know, as I am interested to see how many errors/improvements can be made.

Component Selection Complete
11/17/2019 at 16:34 • 0 commentsAll components have been sourced using the helpful BOM tool from Octopart. Would recommend this tool for anyone searching for components. The BOM can be viewed here. All components are available from Digi-Key, so only one order is needed. In total, there are 42 components, with a total price for all components for a single board equal to $208.54 as of 11/17/19. No surprise that the GPS module is the most expensive (~$200), but that's expected, given that it's a very precise GPS module. If you're looking for very high precision but also don't want to spend thousands of dollars for extremely high-end GPS modules, I would recommend this specific GPS module. Doesn't have to be my board :)

Revision 1!
11/16/2019 at 17:37 • 0 commentsRevision 1.0 is done! This includes the schematic, basic layout and connections of components. Due to component size, this Featherwing is much larger than the Feather, but should still work. Next step is to choose the individual components .
