• Connectors are no longer double stacked because of interference with connecting bars

• Silkscreen

• Ready for layout review

Autopilot

Ben Hyman (RIT Alumni)

• ADXL,375, LIS3MDL done

• BMP390 mostly done

Panelizing

Jim Heaney (RIT Alumni) Yevgeniy Gorbachev (RIT Alumni) Billy Siegener (RIT Student) (Deactivated) 

• No panelizing with radio - labor intensive impedance matching

• No panelizing with power module - 2oz outer layers

• Autopilot and backplane can panelize (4 layer 1oz)

  • 1 each per panel

  • !! MAKE SURE BACKPLANE IS RIGHT WAY UP !!

• Sensor, SCRAP, Prompt, et al. can panelize

  • 1 each per panel

• Need extra considerations

  • Mouse bites

  • Mouse bites shouldn't be near traces (at least 1/8")

• Empty space used for sensor board clones w/ empty copper middle layers to show off
